Building Yesterday’s Future–For Everyone
Coffee culture is ubiquitous in Seattle, and it’s not an exaggeration to say that you can find a coffee shop on almost every corner. Home to Starbucks, Tully’s, Seattle’s Best Coffee, and a wide range of smaller local roasters and coffee shops, locals are passionate and opinionated about their coffee.
In the Northwest, we love our berries. You’ll frequently see pies, syrups, and all manner of desserts featuring not just strawberries and raspberries, but loganberries, marionberries, gooseberries, huckleberries, and others. This recipe for blackberry crisp can be made gluten free and vegan with simple substitutions. It’s a summertime favorite.
With 358 days until the start of Seattle Worldcon 2025, we are excited to announce the launch of our blog, Yesterday, Today, & Tomorrow, with weekly features relating to the region and to era- specific speculative fiction. And more surprises to come!
Announcing the Best Poem Special Hugo Award and the Seattle Worldcon 2025 Community Fund, our congratulations to this year’s Hugo Award winners, volunteer opportunities, three creative contests to start planning for, and our thanks to Glasgow for a great Worldcon!
Seattle Worldcon 2025 is excited to announce the appointment of our poet laureate, Brandon O’Brien! For more about Brandon and the rapidly approaching Glasgow 2024, check out our updated newsletter – Dispatches from Yesterday’s Tomorrow.
We are now ready for pre-supporters to upgrade their memberships to attending memberships in the convention (WSFS membership + attending supplement) and complete registration.
Due to a last-minute change in our registration software, our ability to process registrations and upgrades to attending memberships for site selection voters and bid supporters has been delayed past our originally projected date.
More detailed instructions for site selection voting, a new restaurant has opened at the Seattle Convention Center, and a reminder of our Base 2 Space climb.
We’ll be at Pemmi-Con, this year’s NASFiC, how you can cast your site selection ballot, we have a team for the Base 2 Space Space Needle climb to raise money for cancer research, and we have a Spotify playlist of Seattle musicians.
We are unopposed on the site selection ballot! And the Summit expansion building is open! Some Space Needle history, we’re looking for volunteers, we’re planning for Chengdu, and we were at Boskone and Norwescon and will be at Pemmicon, Chengdu, Orycon, and Loscon.
