This social has it all, for both introverts and extroverts alike! So relax, sit, enjoy the scenery, or play cornhole, giant Jenga and Connect Four. Get free digital images in the photo booth, then sing and dance the night away with karaoke provided by CitySoundWave of Seattle. Whether you're arriving at your hotel, coming back from golf, Kraken, or the pre-con, we hope to see you in Center Hall A!
