SCC Facts & Services

Located in the heart of downtown Seattle, a city with innovative minds and a vibrant arts scene, Seattle Convention Center is within walking distance of world-class hotels, restaurants, entertainment, and attractions. SCC’s new Summit building opened in January 2023—just one-and-a-half blocks from the existing Arch building—to double the capacity of the entire campus.

With a longstanding commitment to sustainability, public art and modern technology, SCC serves its surrounding community and provides visitors with a truly unique Northwest experience.
