Welcome to the Seattle in 2081 Bid
Seattle is proud to announce our bid to host the 139th World Science Fiction Convention in the year 2081. With a legacy of hospitality, a thriving fan community, and unmatched views of the future’s Pacific Northwest, we invite fans from across the globe — and beyond — to join us for the most memorable Worldcon yet.
The Venue
Our proposed site is the Space Needle Convention Complex, with planned upgrades and expanded docking facilities and a panoramic glass floor for optimal planetary-alignment viewing. Direct orbital shuttle service is expected from Seattle–Tacoma Spaceport.
Hotels, restaurants, and entertainment are located within easy walking, rolling, or low-gravity hopping distance. The monorail still runs, of course.
Why Seattle?
- Gateway to the Pacific, Cascades, and several parallel timelines.
- Legendary hospitality, strong coffee, stronger panel schedules.
- Home to literary, media, and speculative fiction communities since before the Interplanetary Age.
Addressing the Rumors
Some have suggested that hosting Worldcon in Seattle poses risks involving “basement Bigfoot.” While colorful, these rumors are unfounded. The city has undergone extensive renovations over the decades, and no evidence of subterranean residents has ever been found.
Your Bid Committee
Our dedicated team of volunteers brings centuries of combined convention-running experience. Many are veterans of previous Worldcons, regional conventions, and speculative fiction events. Our committee is committed to providing a smooth, engaging, and unforgettable convention.
To provide bid continuity and seed staff for the con, the committee is currently exploring options for cryogenic storage with instructions to be decanted once or twice a year for bid parties.
