Bellingham Technical College, Bellingham, Washington, United States of America.
Approximately 60 minutes by car from Seattle International.
- How do we get there???? Rent car? Hitch a ride from one of the Canadians coming down?
  - Somebody has to drive: people going with licenses so far: Ian. (Alex if she gets her ID! Bug her!), person driving Chani down?
Carl Symons, the LFNW guy, suggested that for most booths 1-3 people was sufficient; danborne suspects that KDE might need 2-5 by that reasoning, not 6-7. Remember that priority goes to those with the lowest cost and or who are the biggest names, contributors, und so weiter.

Hotel rooms

Which hotel do we get? This sort of depends whether we rent a car or are hitching rides i.e. no hotel is right across the street from the college. Their website lists the following local choices and deals: http://linuxfestnorthwest.org/lodging.html

The Hampton is apparently about 4 km away and danborne does not mind walking.
