Getting to Expo

This year's event is held at Cruise Terminal 30 at 2431 East Marginal Way, Seattle. There are ample parking spaces within a 15-20 minute walk of the event, but please allow yourself 30 minutes to park and arrive at the show. Arriving by bus or bike is one of the best ways of attending. There is only one entrance to the Terminal at Gate 5, on East Marginal Way.

We suggest printing and bringing the handy walking/shuttle bus and directions map [PDF]. Access to East Marginal Way is limited via 1st Ave S due to the train track location.

Parking Options

There are approx 400 spaces onsite at Expo (including one dozen ADA spots). All parking spots cost $5.00 per car (ADA is free and first come, first served). A convenient passenger drop off and pick up zone is available. There are also approximately 700 free spots within 1 - 1.5 miles of the complex. Print your own Expo parking, Shuttle bus & directions map [PDF] and bring it along to save time and hassle.
