Conventions in Cascadia

science fiction - animation/comics - gaming - other - references

Seattle and the surrounding Cascadia Region has an active and large fandom community. We have a great variety of annual conventions and festivals. Also there are many clubs and organizations that meet and socialize outside of annual gatherings as well. Each event has its own unique flavor and we manage to have loads of fun at each. The Seattle Times Newspaper profiled the area's fandom in the summer of 2006.

Seattle has also previously been the host to many traveling conventions including the following: Boucher Con, CostumeCon, Ditto, SmofCon, World Horror Convention, WesterCon(4), Nebula Awards, Corflu(3), NASFIC, and the Locus Awards. A history of Pacific Northwest Bids for various events can be found here.
