Walkable, Compact Downtown

Discover the ease of meeting in a compact downtown center.

Seattle was recently named the Most Walkable City in the U.S. Seattle’s central retail, dining and cultural hub is the Pike-Pine Corridor—two streets that stretch from the world-famous Pike Place Market, through downtown, and up to the eclectic Capitol Hill neighborhood, with tons to do all along the way. When you meet in downtown Seattle, your attendees will have easy access to world-class hotels and restaurants, vibrant arts and cultural institutions, and stunning natural beauty. The best part? All this is within six short blocks of Seattle Convention Center (SCC).
