Seattle's most distinctive address for work on the water.
Salmon Bay Marine Center is a working waterfront campus on the Ballard Ship Canal — home to marine industry leaders, creative firms, and businesses that simply want a better place to work. You don’t have to be in the marine industry to belong here.
"SBMC has been a fantastic home for my company, providing the flexibility and support we've needed as we've grown."
"The location and setting are unlike anything else in Seattle. Our clients always comment on it when they visit — it sets the tone before the meeting even starts."
