🧝‍♀️ Norwescon 47 Comes to SeaTac

Calling All Geeks, Gamers, and Cosplayers—This April, the PNW Is the Place to Be

If you’re a fan of sci-fi, fantasy, gaming, cosplay, or just love immersing yourself in imaginative worlds, get ready—Norwescon 47 is happening April 17–20, 2025, at the DoubleTree by Hilton near Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

One of the largest regional science fiction and fantasy conventions in the U.S., Norwescon draws thousands of creators, fans, writers, artists, and industry pros every year. Whether you're deep into cosplay culture, a lifelong D&D player, or just want to hang out with fellow genre fans, this is the convention to circle on your calendar.

What Is Norwescon?

Now in its 47th year, Norwescon is a community-driven con focused on literature, science, costuming, art, and gaming. Unlike corporate cons, it keeps its roots in fandom and indie creativity.

Here’s a taste of what you’ll find:

🎤 Panels & Guest Speakers – Featuring bestselling authors, editors, scientists, and creatives
🧝‍♀️ Cosplay Contests – Whether you're a first-timer or pro-level designer, the costumes are legendary
🎨 Art Show & Dealers Room – Find one-of-a-kind fantasy and sci-fi art, collectibles, and handcrafted goods
🎲 Tabletop & Roleplaying Games – Run or join D&D, Pathfinder, Magic, and other RPGs in dedicated game rooms
📚 Writers Workshops & Industry Panels – Perfect for aspiring authors and game designers looking to level up

Whether you're showing off a costume or attending as a wide-eyed fan, Norwescon is about creativity, community, and pure geek joy.

Why Norwescon Matters in the South Sound

Though technically in SeaTac, this con brings massive cultural and economic impact to the whole Puget Sound region.

✔ Tourism Boost – Hotels, restaurants, and vendors get a serious bump from thousands of attendees
✔ Creative Networking – Writers, illustrators, game devs, and filmmakers often connect here for future projects
✔ Regional Pride – It’s one of the longest-running conventions of its kind—and it started right here in Washington
✔ Safe Space for Fandom – Norwescon has always prioritized diversity, inclusion, and accessibility
