Thanks, Beth!! I voted in the poll, too. Later is better if there's going to be snow interfering with my flight plans..otherwise, whenever works for me.

Hey everyone! The dates have been chosen - Friday March 3 through Sunday March 5, 2017. I'll post further updates with specific hotel information soon!

Thanks, HHC, for planning so far ahead. I hope to make it at least for a day and help this time.

[HHC]

I hope you can make it this time, Violet!

Marked on my calendar! Wheeeee!

My guy just hooked me up with some of his SkyMiles so I just booked my flights - yay! Cost me $11.20. Such a deal. (And all I can afford at the moment so perfect!)

[HHC]

Awesome, Michelle! So excited that you're coming.

It will cost me more than that in gas to drive! Haha - awesome how great things work out for your good.

What great news, Michelle! Can't go wrong with that deal! Thank him for us.

[mlydon]

I will! Happy wife, happy life, and all that, right? hahaha He knows me. Now I'll do some dishes. SO looking forward to laughing with you all again!

[beth]

Glad to hear you're going to make it, Michelle, and woo hoo on the bonus miles usage!

[mlydon]

For real! I put all of my business expenses on an Amex Skymiles card. My guy has one, too, and buys industrial equipment. The miles add up. I do the same thing with an Expedia card. For chain hotels it makes a huge difference, like the Clarion.

Well, I just have to sign my life away and we'll have our hotel for SeARTle! Ramada Tukwila Southcenter on Green River across from Southcenter Mall. It looks fabulous and although our registration is higher this year, you'll LOVE it! $89.99 guest rooms all in one wing. Art room with windows and access to the patio. Free breakfast! Airport shuttle that will take us to Light Rail and Southcenter Mall. Restaurant and pub in the hotel (open 4-10). Easy off freeway access.

If all goes well, hopefully we'll be able to start registrations next week. A bit of background stuff has to happen to get that set up, don't ya know.

Sounds great! Except for the selling your life away part...but we'll come visit you.

[mlydon]

Hooray for windows! Thanks for doing all the groundwork

[beth]

Can't wait to get registered!!!

[HHC]

Registration is open, everyone!

SeARTle 2017 is all day March 3, 4, 5 at Ramada Tukwila Southcenter, Seattle WA. Registration is $110 to cover Art Room and $89.99 per night single or double with breakfast, airport and local shuttle, microwave and fridge in every room. Close to Southcenter Mall and easy off freeway access.

I tried to keep registration as low as possible with the higher priced art room. It has windows and access to the patio.

I'll get the first posts updated with information soon. In the meantime check out the details on the blog: http://seartle.blogspot.com

[CynthiaSillitoe]

Sounds great! I'll book my room tomorrow. I may not be able to register until January.

Thanks for organizing this again!

[JoyFlower]

How wonderful! Already looking forward to it!!

[HHC]

You're welcome!
