Security Screening Policy

Marion Oliver McCaw Hall at the Seattle Center utilizes walk-through metal detectors at the public entrances. McCaw Hall is committed to maintaining a safe environment for everyone using the facility. As part of our standard operating policies, prohibited items, including firearms, are not permitted inside the building, regardless of any license or permits unless law enforcement or licensed security personnel are present in an official capacity. Secure storage options are available onsite for your convenience.

We encourage patrons to leave large purses and bags at home or safely secured in a vehicle. Any item larger than a small clutch or wallet may be subject to a security inspection.
