Convention CenterArch

The Pacific Northwest’s premier meeting space since 1988.

Seattle Convention Center’s Arch building is perfectly placed among Seattle’s compact downtown and within easy walking distance to iconic attractions, unbeatable sights, and additional venues. Just inside, the lobby entrance welcomes guests with bright, airy features and reliable wayfinding that leads to the stunning fourth-floor atrium and out into Freeway Park, a retreat in the middle of downtown. Arch offers everything you need for an incredible event. The facility can be booked on its own or combined with Summit for larger groups, depending on your needs.
