Thursday kicked off the first Emerald City Comic Con in three years taking place at it's usual time. The COVID-19 pandemic cancelled 2020 and delayed 2021 & 2022. "We're actually seeing it rise year over year. We see more people being comfortable, wanting to come back," Fallon Prinzivalli, Emerald City Comic Con Marketing Director, said. Prinzivalli expects this year's ECCC will bring in 75,000 people. The venue, Seattle Convention Center Summit, officially opened in January. Prinzivalli says the building is a dream for their event.

Countless people also remarked on the building as they entered and explored all the levels.
