Visit Seattle
A City Ready for You
When meeting planners choose Seattle, attendees are in close proximity to countless restaurants, premier venues, vibrant arts and cultural institutions, and a variety of retail stores, all walkable in downtown Seattle. Most meeting spaces are less than 8 blocks away from Pike Place Market and under 5 minutes by monorail to the Space Needle. The opening of Summit—the first vertical convention center in North America—at Seattle Convention Center has transformed the city’s convention package. With more than 570,000 square feet of additional event space, the new building pairs with the existing Arch building just one-and-a-half blocks away to double the capacity of the entire campus. With the addition of Summit comes increased hotel capacity and other amenities that make Seattle a fitting, easy, and comfortable place to hold meetings. When you arrive in Seattle, you’ll find many historic and newly- built hotels bolster the city’s spirit of transformation. No matter what your needs, the Visit Seattle Sales Team can help you design and book a truly stand out experience. Learn more at visitseattle.org/meetings.
