About Seattle Convention Center
Welcome to the Seattle Convention Center campus, a premier event complex in the heart of downtown Seattle. Comprised of two connected buildings—Arch at 705 Pike Street and Summit at 900 Pine Street—the venue hosts major conventions, trade shows, and large-scale gatherings. The Arch building is the original structure with extensive exhibit space, while Summit opened in 2023 to add expansive exhibition and meeting space. Whether you’re here for PAX West, Emerald City Comic Con, Sakura-Con, or the Northwest Flower & Garden Show, you’ll find ample room, clear wayfinding, and a straightforward path from arrival to entry. We’ve got you covered with practical details on seating configurations, parking, transit options, and nearby hotels and dining to help you secure your plans with ease.
