The Win

435,000 square feet of civic space managed for the public good. If Seattle Center operates the Arch with the same programming philosophy as the main campus, this is the largest addition to Seattle's civic infrastructure in a generation. Organizations that currently compete for limited nonprofit venue space gain a new home in the heart of downtown. The Arch's scale means room for organizations that have never had a permanent home in the core.
