Hosting a Salesforce meeting in Seattle just makes sense. Here's why:

Here’s why:

Walkability, convenience, mild weather—Seattle checks all the boxes for your meeting.

What you and your meeting attendees will enjoy in Seattle:

People walk down steps outside the Seattle Convention Center on a sunny day. Large glass windows and modern architecture are visible, with greenery and wooden benches in the foreground.

Three photos show people walking, talking, and sitting inside a modern, spacious building with large glass windows and wide wooden staircases. The space is bright and open, with multiple floors and urban views.

#1: Seattle’s footprint is ultra-compact

Seattle offers one of the nation’s most walkable downtowns. You’ll find 15 major hotels within 5 short blocks of Seattle Convention Center’s campus. When it comes to meetings, Seattle is a smart choice.

A sunny day at Seattle’s waterfront shows Pier 56 with Elliot’s Oyster House, people walking along the boardwalk, green landscaping, and the Seattle Great Wheel with downtown buildings in the background.

Did you know?

Seattle was named the most walkable U.S. city—you can see most top sights in a 1½-mile stroll.

Also, Seattle’s blocks are 60% shorter than those of many other major cities—meaning that on average, it only takes a minute to walk one block.

#2: Travel to Seattle is easy!

The Emerald City is a quick flight from the Bay Area.

Plus, Seattle is already home to thousands of Salesforce and Tableau employees who work from the HQ2 and Bellevue offices.

Seattle Fact

Flights to Seattle are quick

Flights from the Bay Area to Seattle take just 2 hours, 15 minutes—and there are an average of 40 nonstop flights a day.

Transfer options include Link light rail, which departs from the airport every 8 minutes to downtown and runs 20 hours a day.

#3: Seattle’s weather is probably our best-kept secret

Yes, it rains here—but likely not as much as you might think. Annual rainfall in Seattle is less than Dallas, and much less than New York City or Boston.

The summers are dry and sunny, with July averaging a mild 75° F—all the better for your attendees to enjoy the city’s natural surroundings.

Did you know?

When it does rain here, it’s typically just misty.

Most Seattleites don’t bother to use an umbrella.

People stand on a rooftop terrace overlooking a cityscape with tall buildings, including the illuminated Paramount sign. The sky is overcast and string lights hang above the terrace.

#4: The city’s nightlife is electric

Seattle’s downtown buzzes morning through evening with tech workers enjoying our outstanding restaurants, bars, and nightlife. Adjacent to downtown, Pioneer Square, South Lake Union (SLU), and Capitol Hill are popular neighborhoods for evenings out.
