“So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky
As someone told me lately, ‘Everyone deserves the chance to fly.’”

Working on my latest #PaintByNumber while listening to “Defying Gravity” on repeat.

There’s worst ways to spend an afternoon in hospital. 😅

Applications are Live!

Applications for art show, dealers’ room, and fan and community tables opened December 1, 2024, and will remain open until January 15, 2025. Get your application in early!

The Seattle Worldcon 2025 Art Show and Dealers’ Room are juried. Once the initial deadline for applications has passed, the jury team will review applications. We anticipate issuing acceptances in early 2025.

The fan and community table space is open to clubs, groups, conventions, and organizations that promote science, science fiction, fantasy, horror, costuming/cosplay, and other fannish pursuits, providing an opportunity to share your enthusiasm with Worldcon members who have similar interests. All three application forms will remain open after January 15, 2025. Any applications received after that date will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and, if accepted, placed on a waiting list. The application forms will be closed once the respective waiting lists are full.

Announcing the Seattle Worldcon 2025 Single Pattern Contest!

Gentlefolk, start your sewing machines! Seattle Worldcon 2025 is proud to announce it is hosting a Single Pattern Contest! This year there will be two options for patterns:

A vintage-style bowling shirt
A 60s-style slip or sheath dress

In some years, a pattern selected for a single pattern contest has gone out of print or been difficult to locate, so a garment style rather than specific pattern number will avoid that difficulty. If you prefer a pattern, however, here are some suggested patterns:

Bowling Shirt: McCalls M7206* (available as PDF), Simplicity S9279, Simplicity S9157, Vogue V1622, (unisex), McCalls M8459, McCalls M6972.

60s-Style Dresses: McCalls M8466*, Simplicity S9848, Butterick B6990, McCalls M8402 (PDF), Simplicity S1609.

What is a Single Pattern Contest, you ask? Well, check out this page on the website and all your questions will be answered!

Building the Business Meeting’s Future–With Virtual Meetings in 2025

Seattle Worldcon announced earlier this week we have developed a new process for the WSFS business meeting: which will be held as a series of pre-convention, virtual meetings on four dates prior to the convention: July 4, July 13, July 19, and July 25. Viewing of the meeting will be open to all; however, to participate in the meeting and vote on business will require an attending membership or virtual attending membership in the convention. A meeting will be held at the Worldcon to receive the results of site selection. For additional information, please read the announcement in full on the website, and if you have any questions, please reach out to business-meeting-help@seattlein2025.org.
