Seattle is a great place to visit in the Fall and we have
secured a great facility at the Seattle Public Library in central
Seattle. We've found flights from places such as Denver,
Chicago, and Houston for less that $200 round-trip and there are lodging options to fit every budget in
Seattle. Come a few days early (or stay on) and check out the
Geeks Guide to Seattle or just enjoy our
'special' weather.
