Peaceray and all: This is my first post to this list, glad to be here. I would really like to work with WSU and its librarians to do some WP stuff on campus and in the community. I'm happy for the resource of the Cascadia group. I'm also happy to serve as the main organizer for a joint U-Dub/Wazzu event. I have an email out to one of the librarians suggesting that we hold an event next semester, but I haven't heard back from her yet. I'll suggest the joint event as we communicate more.
As far as travel from Seattle to the west side: Remember, WSU is in Pullman, which is another 1 1/2 hour drive from Spokane. If you fly into Spokane, you'd have to drive here. You could also fly into the Pullman Airport, which is small and more expensive. You could also fly into Lewiston, ID which is a 45 min. drive from Pullman. I suggest the Spokane Airport. I'll keep you posted as things develop.
