Pacific Northwest Writing Centers Association

Information about the conference will be posted here. Please feel free to post any questions, and I'll try to answer them. -Teresa Information will be continually updated on our Central Washington University writing center web site also: http://www.cwu.edu/~writingcenter/pnwca.html The conference fees will be the same as last year: Full-time faculty/admin: $60 Part-time faculty/admin: $40 Student: $20 The conference hotel: The Quality Inn 1700 Canyon Road Ellensburg, WA, US, 98926 Phone: (509) 925-9800 Fax: (509) 925-2093 http://www.qualityinn.com/hotel-ellensburg-washington-WA208 Rooms begin at $70, plus $7 tax. (This is a $20 conference-rate discount.) We have reserved a block of rooms for the nights of April 17 and 18. You could reserve one or both nights. Reservations need to be made by March 27, after which the rooms are open to anyone, and the conference rate is no more. When reserving, mention the PNWCA. The Quality Inn is about 2 miles from Central Washington University. We will be providing a free shuttle for anyone who would rather not drive. There is free parking at the hotel and on campus (and virtually everywhere in town). The Airporter Shuttle, which runs from Seattle to Ellensburg (and beyond), happens to stop at the front door of the Quality Inn. You can stay anywhere you like in this small town, of course. Here's a list of Ellensburg hotels: http://hotel-guides.us/washington/ellensburg-wa-hotels.html Here are two on the list that we considered, because they represent sort of the low-but-decent end and the higher end. We are not holding rooms at these, but here they are: Thunderbird Motel -- about $55 a night; closest lodging to campus, about 3/4 mile Holiday Inn Express -- about $120 a night; next to Quality Inn so could use our free shuttle.
