=== Questions to the organizers ===
  * //add bullet points with confusions and draft questions.  We will collate and ask the organizers//

=== Pro ===
  * //add your comments as bullet points.  Nest if you like.//
  * Pretty campus, but very hilly (could this be an accessibility issue?)
  * Attractive area to visit, could be considered more family friendly as a result.


=== Con ===
  * //add your comments as bullet points.  Nest if you like.//
  * Somewhat geographically isolated, though it is close to a major airport.
    * indeed, essentially far from everywhere.
  * Expensive registration on top of expensive distance and I wouldn't expect seattle to be that cheap either...
  * Local organizing committee a little small?  (I thought there would be more at UW)
=== Space for your comments - especially what issues are most important to you (include name)===
  * //add your comments as bullet points.  Nest if you like.//
  * Mike K: 
    * Pros: Probably the most interesting place to visit? Lots of choices outside of the meeting (this is important in such a long meeting). Has hosted some fairly large meetings in the past as well as the nuclear theory school. Getting there by plane isn't too hard from most of the US.
    * Cons: Expensive registration. Not too many close hotels. Longer plane rides for most. Driving impractical for most. Unclear on exactly how many meeting rooms are available, what their sizes are, and where they are. The proposal could have used another iteration.
