We are the nation's best gathering place.

We exist to delight and inspire the human spirit in each person and bring us together as a rich and varied community.

Seattle Center is a department of the City of Seattle. It is a beautiful 74-acre landscaped campus that includes theaters, arenas, museums, and other public facilities.

Its roots reach back more than 100 years as a site of Native American celebrations. In 1962 it was the home of the Seattle's World's Fair. Seattle Center is a reflection of the Northwest itself: the cultural diversity; the commitment to the arts, to the environment, and to education; and the love of sports and quality entertainment. With over 12 million visitors a year, it is the fourth largest visitor destination in the United States.
