Hi Ondrew,
Glad that your thinking about attending NorthWest Brick Con. I'll try to answer
all your questions.
> What transportation options do I have from the airport to the Seattle Center?
For past events usually the local AFOLs have picked up con attendees. I've
picked up a few for almost every event we've had. If not myself I'm sure one of
the local AFOLs could pick you up. If that doesn't work out of course there is
other transportation from the airport. Here's the link to their ground
transportation: (http://www.portseattle.org/seatac/ground/index.shtml)
Here are the rates of the various ground transportation from this page:

Depending on your interests...

State Ferries, if you have more time possibly the Olyimpic Pennisula or Mt.
Rainier.

Yes there will be. I believe Matt Chiles is heading this up.

We're looking into getting a discounted rate at hotel fairly close to the
Seattle Center. We'll post details soon. In the mean time here is a web page
that has a list of nearby hotels:

There will be events and classes. We are working on putting together that list
and should have it on the web site soon.

see you at NorthWest Brick Con.
