12th Americas Conference on Wind Engineering

Venue

The conference will be held at the Westin Seatle Hotel in the heart of downtown Seattle. A car is not necessary for guests staying downtown. 12ACWE participants will find that downtown Seattle is easily walkable and is waiting to be explored. A fine international restaurant community, a thriving retail shopping district, world-class cultural institutions, and many visitor attractions are within an easy walk of the Westin. Seattle is surrounded by pristine waterways, the Olympic Mountains to the west, the Cascade Mountain range to the east and the majestic Mount Rainier to the south. To the east, a world-class wine region has grown up.
