Washington State Convention Center

It’s hard to miss this gigantic complex decked out with ballrooms, meeting rooms, space for exhibitions and the Seattle Convention and Visitors Bureau. An arched-glass bridge spans Pike St between 7th and 8th Aves, with what looks like a giant eye in the middle of it.

The main entrance is on the corner of 7th Ave and Pike St. Freeway Park nearby provides a leafy, fountain-laden downtown oasis.
