Why Olympia? How the PNBCA annual convention landed in the South Sound area

Wondering how convention co-chairs Linda Breeden and Douglas Bradley came to pick Olympia as the host city for the 2016 PNBCA convention? Just check out a recent feature in AAA Washington’s Journeys magazine:  http://aaawashingtonjourney.com/magazine/2016_0506/next-stop.asp

Author Haley Shapley calls Olympia “a central gathering place”. Midway between Seattle and Portland, Washington’s state capital is conveniently placed, accessible, and charming. This “All-American City” boasts a restored waterfront, active downtown, immediate access to nature, and superior shopping – all at reasonable small-city prices. The newly-renovated Red Lion Hotel offers affordable luxury and copious parking, overlooking Capitol Lake within easy reach of downtown.
