Even Portland gets a coin show, what's wrong with Seattle?

I can see places in CA or FL or some other spots getting them (weather, large collection of dealers nearby, etc), but why the HECK doesn't Seattle get a coin show (major one by the ANA) if even Portland gets one????

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Dealers [esp East Coast] hate the PNW because it's so hard to get in and out ... but from what I understand the real problem is lack of organizational sponsorship.

    Anyone that has driven around Seattle in the last few years knows Exactly what is wrong with Seattle. What a Nightmare the traffic has became.

    Spokane would be a Much better place for a show....image

    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    I have this strong feeling that Russ is no where as bad as the Traffic. Russ would be a walk in the Park compared to the traffic problems Seattle has......image

    I don't know why! Just because you have a bottle of tequila in one hand, two shot glasses in the other and are wearing your crotchless leather panties!!!image

    The ANA just had their annual convention/money show in Seattle in 1990. Hope you didn't miss it.image

    Only one of those is actually in Seattle and you're right, they suck.

    I'd be happy just to see Carbondale, IL get one.
