My wife and I were reading through the WA state firearm laws to refresh our memory and we both noticed something interesting.
RCW 9.41.300 (2)b:
"Restricting the possession of firearms in any stadium or convention center, operated by a city, town, county, or other municipality, except that such restrictions shall not apply to: (i) Any pistol in the possession of a person licensed under RCW 9.41.70 or exempt from the licensing requirement by RCW 9.41.60"
IANAL, but that doesn't state that if you have your CPL that you have to conceal carry if you go into a 'convention center'. I remember something about a city was trying to get one of the open market places declared a convention center, and it seems that under RCW 9.41.300 they can only restrict people from open carrying if they do not have a CPL. If you have a CPL you can open carry into a convention center anyways.
