The Greater Tacoma Convention Center is located at 1500 Commerce Street Tacoma, WA 98402. Most folks find getting here is easy, but here are few resources to ensure a smooth arrival.
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is serviced by 32 passenger airlines offering 91 non-stop domestic and 29 international routes to and from Sea-Tac.
Sea-Tac is the 8th busiest airport in the US serving nearly 50 million passengers annually. So flights to Tacoma are easy to book from nearly anywhere.
Transportation from and to the airport
