Hello Precious Readers!
I will be attending Left Coast Crime 2024: Seattle Shakedown from April 11-14, 2024! I’ll be hanging out as an attendee, but if you happen to see me, feel free to say hello.
My peeps, I am so excited. This will be my second LCC. (I forgot I attended Whale of a Crime awhile back), I’m really looking forward to the guest speakers.
Be warned, although this says it’s in “Seattle” it’s actually going to be in Bellevue, WA. It’s a completely different city, it’s further east from the water, and it’s super… “uptown” vibe. If you’re within the main part of Bellevue, it’s walkable, but Seattle is 20 minutes west on a good traffic day.
I haven’t decided if I’ll be staying at the hotel, staying nearby, or just driving down each morning instead. Since many things start at 9 AM, I may just drive down and grit my teeth for dealing with traffic.
From their website:
“What is Left Coast Crime? Left Coast Crime is an annual mystery convention sponsored by mystery fans, both readers and authors. LCC is held during the first third of the year in Western North America. Conventions have been held from Anchorage to El Paso, from Boulder to Hawaii, and various locations in between.
Our purpose is to host an event where readers, authors, critics, librarians, publishers, and other fans can gather in convivial surroundings to pursue their mutual interests.
Left Coast Crime is an all-volunteer organization — neither the members of the Standing Committee nor members of each annual convention committee are paid for their time. LCC is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit organization. Each Left Coast Crime Convention raises money to support a local literacy organization with funds collected through silent and live auctions, and the annual Quilt Raffle.
Will I see you there?
