Location
Most of Summit will take place in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood at Block 41, an ideal setting for exploration and discovery in the heart of the city. The venue itself offers an intriguing blend of contemporary cool and industrial chic, and its central location makes the iconic Pike Place Market and piers along Elliott Bay all within walking distance.
Our first night together will embrace the outdoor scene of the Olympic Sculpture Park, featuring a diverse collection of contemporary sculptures and installations by renowned artists. This urban oasis promises a memorable experience that captures the essence of Seattle’s vibrant culture and scenic beauty.
Weather
Seattle in September is unbeatable. The city comes alive with stunning autumn colors, crisp air and comfortably mild weather, making it a favorite for both visitors and locals.
Average high temps hover around 70 degrees F with lows in the mid-50s. We will be spending some time outside so pack layers, comfortable shoes, and rain gear just in case. See FAQs for more.
