We can’t divulge the location (yet) but we promise you’ll enjoy our closing reception is at one of DC’s most stunning venues. Perched above Pennsylvania Avenue, this striking modern landmark is a study in glass, light, and sweeping views of the U.S. Capitol.
Joining our Portland/Seattle/Vancouver delegation will be attendees of the Greater Spokane Inc DC Fly-In, who are coincidentally in Washington. This event will surely be a celebration of the Pacific Northwest in the nation’s capital.
