Night at the Museum
Maritime Event Center - In the shadow of Pike Place Market and downtown Seattle, framed by the Olympic and Cascade mountains, the Maritime Event Center communicates the quintessential Puget Sound experience. Meeting delegates are wowed by the nautical-themed galleries, interactive maritime exhibits and stunning views of Elliot Bay and the Seattle skyline.
Adjacent to Bell Harbor International Conference Center on Pier 66, the Maritime Event Center can accommodate up to 600 for receptions. Forty-foot-high ceilings and second-level catwalks give a feeling of spaciousness to the 20,000 square foot event center, and more intimate breakfast rooms, galleries and small meeting spaces are available as well.

Seattle’s Maritime Event Center: Free Admission
Looking for something fun and unique (and cheap) to do this weekend? We have a great idea! Seattle’s Maritime Event Center, an interactive nautical museum on Pier 66, will open with free admission tomorrow, Saturday, January 15, 2010 between 10:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. The Maritime Event Center offers vibrant and interactive exhibits such as Sustaining the Sea to inform youth about the fishing industry and Sharing the Sound to promote the Puget Sound's diverse natural habitat. The usually private venue is located at Pier 66 off of Alaskan Way in downtown Seattle, and adjacent to Bell Harbor International Conference Center.

The Odyssey Maritime Discovery Center on Seattle's waterfront demonstrates how we interact with the water around us in a way that visitors have probably never experienced before.
