About Seattle · October 2026

Seattle AI Week takes over the next two weeks, and almost everything worth your time is packed around it. The anchor is the AI Summit at Bell Harbor on Oct 27, run by WTIA with a Startup Alley that puts you in front of the PNW AI scene in one room. Builders should look at the Claude Impact Lab Hackathon on Oct 25 and the Box + AWS Agentic Enterprise AI Hackathon on Oct 17, plus the Founders & Funders Deep Dive on Oct 25 as the week's kickoff.
