How this list is made
Searching for a comic con near me from Washington? This page is that list. Every Washington con here was found on the organizer's own website and is re-checked weekly. A show that disappears from its source for three weeks in a row is hidden until it comes back, and the last update date is on the homepage. Dates and tickets always come from the official site, linked on every event page.
A bit of Washington con history
Emerald City Comic Con started in 2003 and now fills the Seattle Convention Center under ReedPop, with more than 90,000 attendees and over 950 exhibitors and creators in 2024. Source
PAX began as the Penny Arcade Expo in August 2004 at the Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue with about 3,300 people, created by Penny Arcade authors Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik. By 2007 it had moved to the Washington State Convention Center and drew 39,000; it stopped reporting attendance after 70,000 in 2011. Source
