Seattle Convention Center: events and getting there

Getting to Seattle Convention Center

• Arch: 705 Pike StThe original building, with its annex at 800 Pike across the street (joined over Pike St by the Arch skybridge). Walk in at 7th Ave & Pike St; car drop-off at 725 Pike. Open to the public 6 AM to 8 PM.
• Summit: 900 Pine StThe newer building, opened in 2023. Walk in at 9th Ave & Pine St; car drop-off on 9th Ave between Pine St and Olive Way. Open to the public until 10 PM.

The two buildings are about a block apart, a 3 minute walk between the two entrances (our estimate); the Center doesn't list an indoor link between them, so check your badge pickup and sessions for which building you need.

Light rail

From the airport, walk to the station (baggage claim carousel 16, up one floor, across the skybridge and through the garage) and ride the 1 Line to Westlake (4th Ave & Pine St): 39 minutes, trains every 8 to 10 minutes most of the day, $3.00 one way for adults, free for 18 and under. From Westlake it's about a 5 minute walk up Pine St to the Arch entrance at 7th & Pike, a little more to Summit (our estimate). Sound Transit: Sea-Tac Airport

Parking
