Pacific Marine Expo to be held in Seattle from Thursday, Nov. 17, through Saturday, Nov. 20 at CenturyLink Field Event Center

    SEATTLE, WA, May 13, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The 49th Annual Pacific Marine Expo, the West Coast's largest commercial fishing and marine trade show, will return to CenturyLink Field Event Center in Seattle from Thursday, Nov. 17, through Saturday, Nov. 20.

"Last year was tremendous for Pacific Marine Expo, with more than 500 exhibitors and over 8,500 visitors from 40 states and 24 countries," said Denielle Christensen, Pacific Marine Expo event director. "With the continued growth and strength of the fishing and workboat industries, we expect another outstanding year in 2016."

The Expo serves all aspects of the market, including commercial vessel owner and operators, commercial fishermen, boat builders and seafood processors.

The 2016 Expo will include free educational sessions, keynote addresses, the King County Maritime Economic Forecast Breakfast, a special Fishermen's Lounge and a variety of other special events, including the Fisherman of the Year contest sponsored by National Fisherman magazine.

Christensen said the 2016 show will have the following hours:

Thursday November 17, 2016 10:00am - 5:30pm
Friday November 18, 2016 10:00am - 5:30pm
Saturday November 19, 2016 10:00am - 2:00pm

"We had to adjust our show schedule around Seattle Seahawks' games and other CenturyLink Event Center events," she noted. "We adopted this schedule because the alternate choices were not ideal for many of our customers. The week before Thanksgiving is when our audience wants to attend Pacific Marine Expo."
