The West Coast's main commercial fishing and workboat trade show, drawing fishermen, vessel owners, boatbuilders, seafood processors and marine suppliers, mostly from Washington and Alaska. This year it moves from the Lumen Field Event Center to the convention centre's Arch building.

Our advice: book now. Private rooms are already filling up.
The Arch entrance is at 7th Avenue and Pike Street, so downtown, Pike Place Market and the waterfront are all walkable for dinner.
Opening night (Thu Nov 19) clashes with a Kraken home game at Climate Pledge Arena and the Sounders' playoff match at Lumen Field, so book group tables early that evening.
Link light rail runs from the airport to Westlake Station in about 40 minutes, and Westlake is a few blocks from the Arch.
