Today we're out with an Economic Profile paper on the Washington State Convention Center addition project in downtown Seattle.

Some highlights:

• WSCC intends to construct an additional convention building (the Addition), which would roughly double the amount of space available to host conventions.
• The project would span three blocks in downtown Seattle near the current center; it includes private sector co-development of 400 units of housing and an office building above an underground portion of the Addition.
• Between 2011 and 2015, WSCC turned away 329 possible events.
• WSCC projects that the Addition will generate 2,300 new jobs at the convention center and in the local hospitality industry, 1,600 indirect jobs, $200 million in out-of-state visitor spending annually, and $35 million in local annual spending.
