Except for the zip code, I think that that is the correct address.
The building is located over the freeway (I-5) and I am not sure that
it has a "normal" address.  In any case, since there is only one
building located in Seattle with that title, it may take a while to get there
but that address should get any corruspondance to the place.

We finally located the Convention Center on a map of Seattle: exit 165
from I-5, near the crossing of Pike Street and Boren Ave.

My mistake, I thought that you wanted the snail mail address.  Yes, that is
the correct location.  As for getting there from the airport (SEATAC), you
can take a cab (expensive) or take the Metro bus route 194 from the airport
to the Convention Place station.  It costs less than $2.00 even during the
peak times.  If you are staying downtown, as long as you stay in the city
limits, the bus is free.  And getting around isn't that bad, I ride the bus
to the UW each school day and have survived a year of it.

There is an airport bus downtown (Greyline) for about $6 directly to the
various hotels.

Most important to remember, even in these last few years of unusual weather:
   Seattle Rain Festival --- September through May

Forgot about that one.  That one may be the most comfortable.  They use
Grayhound/tour-type buses.

I thought that it was January through December!

If you take metro (which I like as well), be sure that the 194 bus
says that it is going to Seattle.  It also goes south to Federal Way.
And, you definitely don't want to go there.  If it is after 7pm, it
uses surface streets instead of the tunnel (the Convention Place
station).  Get off around Pike or Pine.  The Convention Center is a
few blocks east on Pike and most hotels are close by.

The Grey Line is also good (bit more expensive).  If it's late and
dark, take the Grey Line, otherwise take Metro.
