Fun fact
The interior of Christian Grey's Seattle penthouse was actually a soundstage build in Vancouver, not a real Washington apartment.
The verdict
Spent the better part of three movies shooting the entire Fifty Shades trilogy in and around Vancouver, with the city doubling for Seattle so often local crews could probably direct traffic to the Red Room set blindfolded. Born in Texas and raised mostly in Colorado and California though, into Hollywood royalty — the BC scenery got a workout, she didn't.
