Attention all Artists! We are extending the Mascot Contest deadline to April 10th. Why? Because we don’t have as many Mascots as we need to have a proper contest, in fact, submissions are at about 1/3 of what we normally have before the convention.

All valuables, such as ID and electronics, turned into the Lost and Found were turned over to the Washington State Convention Center. For more information please contact WSCC Security at 206-694-5127.
