Host to the 69th FWR Conference

There is so much to do in Seattle we encourage you to plan ahead and schedule a 

couple of days before the 69^th FWR Conference to get in some great sight seeing.

There is the Iconic Space Needle, exciting Public Market, and the original Starbucks.

I think the tiny shoe store that was the original Nordstrom is gone but you can get in 

some good shopping at their Flagship store downtown. There is the Fremont Troll 

residing under the north end of the Aurora Bridge, the floating homes on Lake Union, Pioneer Square, and if you love books, you will have to visit the huge Elliott Bay Book Company still staying competitive with Amazon. 

Drive across the sound and have a meal at Salty’s on Alki Beach (just as the sun sets) 

it is a bit pricey, but I promise you, it is an unforgettable experience.  If you can 

squeeze in the time, take the Catamaran across to British Columbia and see Butchart Gardens.  Even if you don’t get to the Gardens having “Afternoon Tea” in Victoria, or 

simply wandering around the little jewel of a city is well worth the 2-3 hour cruise.

The nightlife is just as exciting in the Emerald City.  Seattle is well know for it’s world 

class jazz, so set aside a night to visit a club just blocks from downtown and the 

waterfront and listen to great music.

I hope you feel excited about spending a few days in Seattle.  Join us at the 69^th FWR

Conference to celebrate our achievements, plan for the coming year and have some fun.
