Good news! We’ve just added two more hotels to our list of hotels close to the convention with special deals for Norwescon attendees. That brings us up to your choice of six hotels within a mile of the convention hotel, just in case you didn’t get rooms on-site!
We’ve just published our scheduled gaming lineup for this year! Munchkin, Pathfinder, D&D, Magic, and a whole lot more will be running throughout the convention.
We are proud to present this year’s Norwescon 35 television spot! Look for this spot to air on KBTC Public Television over the next month and a half as we gear up for Norwescon 35!
Norwescon has a number of rooms set aside in the room block for convention professionals. Several of these rooms are left over and we are making them available to convention members on a first come, first serve basis.

You’re invited to a party!
The Norwescon Stuffing Party will be held Sunday, April 1 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport at 1 p.m. The room will be on the daily meeting boards at the hotel entrances. Stuffing should be over by 4:00 PM at the latest.
Please join us for fun and games as we take pieces of paper, paperback books, buttons, and coupons and marry them together to form the packets that everybody receives at Registration. The more people we have, the faster it will go. Be the first in your neighborhood to see what sort of goodies everyone will receive. Cop a button or two advertising the next big movie. We might even have the latest programming grids on the wall for your perusal.
Working at the stuffing party counts towards hours worked at the con. Norwescon volunteers receive perks like early seating at the Masquerade and are entered into drawings for many items donated by Norwescon dealers. The drawings take place early Sunday afternoon of the con.
Please note: People attending the Stuffing Party will have to pay for their own parking. Parking should be $8.
If you or your organization has fliers or other material that you wish to include in the packets, you may either arrange to get them to the Norwescon Transportation Department by Thursday, March 29, or bring them to the hotel yourself by noon on April 1.

We’ve rolled out a number of updates to the website over the holiday weeks. If you’re following us on Twitter, Facebook, or Google Plus, you may already know some of this — but you might not know all of it! So, here’s what we rolled out over the past week or so….
Would you like to help plan, organize, and create the Pacific Northwest’s premier science-fiction and fantasy convention? January’s Norwescon 35 planning meeting will be held Saturday, January 7th, 2012.
Norwescon 35, in conjunction with the DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport, is pleased to announce that Maxi’s Lounge will be open Friday and Saturday nights for the exclusive use of Norwescon 35 attendees.
The Norwescon room block has been sold out since early November — but if you missed out on staying at the DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport, this doesn’t mean you won’t be able to stay close to the convention! In addition to the already announced Hilton Seattle Airport & Conference Center, Norwescon has made arrangements with three other nearby hotels.
