Congratulations and welcome to all our newly elected delegates and alternates. With the largest Spokane County Republican Convention behind us, it is time to focus our energy and excitement to continue the momentum of this past weekend. I am very excited to be taking such a committed group of Republicans to represent Spokane County at the State Convention. It is important that you book your hotel and register for the convention as soon as possible. Registrations must be complete no later than Friday April 27 to insure your participation.

We’re very excited about the workshops and seminars that are part of the convention and those who will be leading them. All of the Wednesday programming, including the award-winning GOPAC Activist Training seminar, are free to all attendees and any Republican activist who wants to attend. If you’ve already registered for the convention, you can visit the convention registration site and add Wednesday workshops at no charge.

Details of the Tech Track workshops are now online on the registration site. You’ll want to check these out. They range from the practical (Excel 101 and Excel 201) to GIS mapping and web analytics. The Tech Track is new this year and is designed to educate activists on the newest technologies and to encourage collaboration among tech-savvy Republicans.

If you have any questions- about any part of the convention, please ask us. We want to make your convention experience great.


The Hotels Are Filling Up

The WSRP has blocks of rooms reserved for convention attendees in all of the nearby hotels. However, some hotels are close to capacity. The Courtyard Marriott (across the street from the Convention Center) is completely full and the Murano (1 block from the Convention Center) is filling fast. The two next closest hotels are the Best Western Tacoma Dome, which is on the Link Light Rail line so you can leave your car at the hotel and ride the train to the Convention Center. The La Quinta Inn and Suites is also within walking distance of the Link Light Rail.

From the Host Committee

We want everyone who is coming to Tacoma for next month's state GOP Convention to know how much Pierce County Republicans are eager for you to feel welcome here and to have a satisfying experience in our community -- so that you'll leave Tacoma happy and energized for the hard work ahead of us to elect Republicans up and down the ticket in November.

The Pierce County GOP is very grateful to the Tacoma Regional Convention and Visitors Bureau for their help in securing hotel rooms, mapping restaurants and narrowing the many visitor options into concise and attractive presentations on their website. They've created a couple links just for GOP convention delegates and a page with some dining information and phone numbers to make advance reservations.

Take note also of the "link to LINK." "LINK" is Tacoma's light rail service. It runs from a free parking area near the Tacoma Dome, right to the Convention Center. This is really an easy way to get around, and makes stops at major attractions along the way.

Please call our hosts at the Pierce County GOP headquarters at any time for suggestions on getting around and having fun. We can be reached at 253-722-5353.
