The $31 million facility opened in 2005 and is managed by SMG. The convention center was first proposed in the 1980s, but was rejected by voters on three occasions; the formation of a public facilities district in 1999 funded its construction.[1] HistoryLynnwood, historically a bedroom community of Seattle and nearby Everett, began pursuing a convention center and performing arts venue in the late 1960s.[2] Boosters from the Edmonds Community College attempted to lure a state-sponsored "festival center" in 1977, but failed to garner support over a site near Federal Way.[3][4] A 3,000-seat arts-and-convention center on the college campus was also proposed in 1980, but failed to receive funds from the Washington State Legislature.[2][5][6] In the November 1982 election, voters in south Snohomish County (including Lynnwood and nearby cities) rejected the formation of a special district to develop the arts-and-convention center, and also repealed a local sales tax, planned to be used to fund its construction.[7][8] The boosters later decided against scheduling another public vote on the arts-and-convention center,[9] and ultimately decided in 1985 to split the projects into two: a performing arts center on the college campus, and a convention center elsewhere in Lynnwood.[10] A ballot measure was attempted again in 1988, but failed because of low voter turnout.[11] A second, major campaign to build an 800-seat, $45 million arts-and-convention center in Lynnwood began in 1998.[12] The proposal was sent to local voters in May 1998, with mixed support from politicians, and was rejected by 75 percent.[13] In 1999, the city government established a public facilities district, a type of local special district that would be able to fund a convention center using a state sales tax rebate.[14] The estimated cost of the {{convert|80,000|sqft|sqm|adj=mid}} convention center led the city to reconsider its plans in 2000,[15] instead opting for a smaller, {{convert|35,000|sqft|sqm|adj=mid}} facility costing $32 million.[16] The final design for the convention center, with {{convert|55,000|sqft|sqm}} of total meeting space, was unveiled to the public in November 2002.[17] The convention center was funded by $27.9 million in issued bonds, as well as rebate sales taxes from the state government and hotel-motel taxes collected by the county and city.[18] Construction on the convention center began in October 2003.[19] Howard S. Wright Companies was selected to build the facility, while SMG was awarded the rights to operate it.[20] The convention center opened on April 30, 2005,[19] and immediately came into competition with the Everett Events Center (now Xfinity Arena) in downtown Everett.[21][22] After completion of the convention center, the Lynnwood Public Facilities District attempted to build a 200-room Hilton Garden Inn hotel on an adjacent property.[23] The proposed hotel was scrapped in 2008 after the main developer withdrew from negotiations, citing the then-ongoing financial crisis.[24] By then, the convention center had an annual attendance of 82,000 people.[25] In its first decade in operation, the Lynnwood Convention Center hosted over 3,900 events and a total attendance of 753,000 people. An estimated $24.8 million in economic impact was generated by the convention center in 2014.[19][26] FacilitiesThe Lynnwood Convention Center is located on 196th Street Southwest, a block west of Interstate 5 in central Lynnwood. It is southwest of the Alderwood Mall, and within the city's planned city center.[18] The convention center has a total floor space of {{convert|53,985|sqft|sqm}}, and a grand hall that can accommodate 1,200 people.[26][27] References1. ^{{cite news |last=Sheets |first=Bill |date=April 24, 2005 |title=Lynnwood has a heart |url=http://www.heraldnet.com/news/lynnwood-has-a-heart/ |work=The Everett Herald |accessdate=May 18, 2017}} 2. ^1 {{cite news |last=Bergsman |first=Jerry |date=April 21, 1982 |title=Group to seek vote on regional center |page=G1 |work=The Seattle Times}} 3. ^{{cite news |last=Kuo |first=Keming |date=February 2, 1977 |title=Two areas vying for Northwest festival center |page=H6 |work=The Seattle Times}} 4. ^{{cite news |last=Kuo |first=Keming |date=February 16, 1977 |title=Trump card in site of festival? |page=H1 |work=The Seattle Times}} 5. ^{{cite news |last=Macdonald |first=Sally |date=September 10, 1980 |title=Backers in final push for arts complex |page=F2 |work=The Seattle Times}} 6. ^{{cite news |last=Bergsman |first=Jerry |date=June 9, 1982 |title=Dispute could delay center for arts, conventions |page=G1 |work=The Seattle Times}} 7. ^{{cite news |last=Bergsman |first=Jerry |date=December 15, 1982 |title=Arts center may get another test |page=G1 |work=The Seattle Times}} 8. ^{{cite news |last=Bergsman |first=Jerry |date=November 3, 1982 |title=Sales tax repealed; cultural arts plan stumbles |page=F1 |work=The Seattle Times}} 9. ^{{cite news |last=Bergsman |first=Jerry |date=May 2, 1984 |title=Center approval put off |page=G1 |work=The Seattle Times}} 10. ^{{cite news |last=Matthee |first=Imbert |date=July 17, 1985 |title=Arts enter split into projects |page=H1 |work=The Seattle Times}} 11. ^{{cite news |last=Casey |first=Carolyn |date=June 20, 1988 |title=Arts-center supporters consider bowing out |page=B3 |work=The Seattle Times}} 12. ^{{cite news |last=Zoll |first=Adam |date=May 5, 1998 |title=South county votes again on arts center |page=B1 |work=The Seattle Times}} 13. ^{{cite news |last=Brooks |first=Diane |date=May 20, 1998 |title=Final curtain for arts complex?
