Seattle organizations are green, locals are green, businesses are green and your meeting is guaranteed to use the latest eco-friendly technology and practices when you choose Seattle to host a meeting or convention. Aside from
Washington State Convention Center green meeting innovations, Seattle itself is eco-friendly by nature and wins environmental awards for its leadership year after year.
Green Convention Center
Reduced water use in plumbing. Energy-efficient lighting. Eco-friendly cleaning products. Those are just three examples of Washington State Convention Center’s green practices, earning it awards for recycling and environmental conservation. The Seattle-based convention center has been an industry leader for over two decades and continues to innovate, reducing its carbon footprint.
3 ways the Washington State Convention Center innovates in the meeting industry:
- The 2010 addition to the convention center not only expanded conference space, but exceeded LEED Silver certification standards for sustainable construction methods, furnishings and equipment.
- 2008 Recycler of the Year Award by Washington State Recycling Association earned the convention center honors for its 20-year practice and effective ways to recycle, reduce and reuse materials and energy.
- Locally-grown foods and beverages are used in the convention center’s kitchen, giving guests delectably fresh cuisine, supporting local producers and trimming the center’s carbon footprint (by curbing shipping distances).
