The Meydenbauer convention center is currently closed for a 3-month $12.5 million face-lift that will include warmer interiors, new lighting, new theater seats and upgrades to technology throughout the 22 year-old Bellevue convention center.
For event organizer and city officals, the 2015 World Squash Championship event will serve both as an introduction to the intimate, fast-paced racket sport that's played by about 20 million people around the world and also as a coming-out party for the new Meydenbauer Center renovation all culminating to showcase Bellevue as a tourist destination with an increasingly international presence and a growing list of attractions.
