The REQ Center is a planned 7,000 seat climate-controlled sports entertainment complex situated on Interstate 5 in southwest Washington State midway between the metropolitan areas of Seattle and Portland.
Southwest Washington is the perfect location for an indoor performance arena, catering to the large equestrian communities of the Pacific Northwest. The site is rural in nature, yet immediately adjacent to the interstate for easy access.
The REQ Center is an ideal destination for all kinds of spectator events: top rank professional rodeo and bull riding, Olympic jumping competitions, national equestrian shows, conventions, concerts, graduations and more.
Our larger development plan includes visitor services to make The REQ comfortable and convenient, including hotels, restaurants, retail shops and travel services.
All of this is set in a beautiful natural surrounding, with one of Washington's premier salmon spawning streams running along behind with walking trails and breathtaking views of the Cascades, Mt. Rainier and thundering Mt. St. Helens.
