Seattle – The 53rd Pacific Marine Expo, the West Coast’s largest commercial fishing and marine industry trade show, will be held from Thursday, November 21, through Saturday, November 23, at CenturyLink Field Event Center in Seattle.

“Our exhibitors and attendees are thrilled that we are returning to our traditional Show schedule of a Thursday through Saturday event,” said Expo event director Denielle Christensen, who announced the 2019 dates following the release of the National Football League schedule. The Expo serves all aspects of the maritime industry market, including commercial vessel owner and operators, commercial fishermen, boat builders, suppliers, and seafood processors. 

“Last year’s Expo featured more than 500 exhibitors and over 6,000 visitors from 40 states and 24 countries,” said Christensen. “With the continued growth and strength of the West Coast fishing and workboat industries, we expect another outstanding year in 2019.”

This year’s Expo will feature the popular Alaska Hall, a free educational conference curated by National Fisherman, the King County Maritime Economic Forecast Breakfast, a dedicated program for Young Fisherman, free daily happy hours, the Fisherman of the Year contest and more.

PME will continue to offer a free shuttle bus from Fishermen’s Terminal in Ballard to the Expo. There is also free parking at Fishermen’s Terminal.
