The Arch is your building — paid for partly by the taxes visitors pay to
stay in your city. 435,000 square feet at Pike & 8th, one of the most
walkable intersections in the Pacific Northwest, sits dark 250 days a year.
A commons operated by Seattle Center gives Seattle residents a year-round
civic space in the geographic heart of downtown: the missing link between
Pike Place Market, Capitol Hill, and the waterfront. No convention badge
required.
