EM Event Center is a brand new facility conveniently located just minutes off I-5 in Shoreline, Washington. It opened in May 2014 after Steve and Pat Erickson spent years searching out venues to host annual events for their Parkinson’s nonprofit, Pinky’s Passion for a Parkinson’s Cure. Knowing the hassle and expense to book a venue for a private party, dinner auction, and company meetings, Steve wanted to create an upscale venue that was void of the pretentious price tag or experience. EM Event Center contributes a portion of all proceeds to non-profits like Pinky’s Passion as well as other organizations helping cure mental illness.
