[via Personal_Submersibles]

Good point, Sean.
 
The _Bellingham  International Airport_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellingham_International_Airport)  offers regularly scheduled commuter flights to 
and  from _Seattle_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle)   and _Friday 
Harbor,  Washington_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friday_Harbor,_Washington) 
, and regularly scheduled jet service to Los Angeles, San Diego,  _Oakland_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oakland,_California) , and _Palm Springs,  
California_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_Springs,_California) ; _Las 
Vegas, Nevada_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Las_Vegas,_Nevada) ; _Reno,  
Nevada_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reno,_Nevada) , and _Phoenix_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix,_Arizona) /_Mesa,  Arizona_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesa,_Arizona) . In 2010 Alaska airlines began regularly scheduled 
direct flights to  Hawaii. _Amtrak Cascades_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amtrak_Cascades)  provides  Bellingham with regularly scheduled passenger rail 
service to _Seattle_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle) , _Portland, 
Oregon_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland,_Oregon)  and to  _Vancouver_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vancouver) ,  BC. 
It's not mentioned above, but they also have some direct flights  from 
Denver, CO, on Frontier Airlines.  Alaska Air provides the commuter  service 
from Seattle.

There is an international airport in  Bellingham.  I have previously driven 
down from Vancouver to take  advantage of cheaper flights than were 
available out of YVR, so you might look  into that.

I'm waiting on confirmed availability, but I'll register as  soon as I know.

PSUBS  announces the West Coast Sessions, a group event scheduled for 
August 21-24,  2014.

A late summer event is being planned for the Bellingham  Washington area 
including a trip to Vancouver BC Canada to tour Nuytco  Research.  The current 
schedule of events includes:
1) Meet &  Greet, August 21
2) Submarine Diving, August 22
3) Nuytco Research  Tour, August 23

Jim Todd is the Planning & Program  Chairman for this event, and he will be 
providing more detailed information  later.  In order to secure the best 
possible hotel discount and to know  how large a block of rooms to reserve, 
please register for the event as soon  as possible at 
http://www.psubs.org/convention/2014.  We  will announce the name of the official headquarters hotel 
soon, and of  course you are free to choose another hotel accommodation if 
you  prefer.  Several of the hotel websites are already indicating "No rooms 
 available," so the sooner you can respond, the better.
 
IMPORTANT!!:  To cross the border into  Canada for the Nuytco tour, every 
person no matter what age must present a  valid passport.  If you do not have 
an up-to-date passport I would  strongly suggest you apply for or renew 
your passport ASAP.  More on  this later.
 
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is 1 hour  40 minutes from Bellingham. 
 Vancouver International Airport is 50  miles or about 1 hour from 
Bellingham.  If your departure point is  within the Unites States, flying into 
Seattle-Tacoma is likely to be  somewhat cheaper.
 
Some of you toured Nuytco during our convention  several years ago.  Dr. 
Phil has expanded the facility substantially  since then to accommodate 
greater manufacturing activities.  There are  presently a number of subs under 
construction.  See http://nuytco.com/
