Service & Policy: Security and Safety

If a medical emergency occurs while you are at the Seattle Convention Center, please contact the Security Control Office immediately:

  • Dial x5127 from any house phone located in the facility.
  • Dial 206-694-5127 from any phone.
  • Pick up one of the red phones located in elevator lobbies for automatic connection to Security Control Office.
  • Ask any uniformed Seattle Convention Center employee for assistance.

Please do not contact 911 directly when possible. Contacting the Security Control Office will greatly minimize the response time of emergency response units, in the event that they need to be dispatched to the facility. Seattle Convention Center Security Officers can lead emergency response units directly to the individual in need.

After you have alerted the Security Control Office, please inform the ASHA staff at the nearest ASHA Info Booth of the situation.
