As of right now the community created events program that has funded the event at Seattle Center is not budgeted for next year (by the city of Seattle). We are hoping to hear that the city council funds the program or we will have to look for alternate venues.

I would love for this to work out as well! I’ve been talking with a local skateshop about a fingerboard comp after having gone to northwest fingers 2 in Renton and have been itching to hang with some other hobbyists!

Does the city need any type of proposal? Maybe something that shows enough people are interested? i don’t know how big the scene is her in the NW but I would forsure help anyway i can!

That does not sound encouraging. Does that mean there will be no PNWR this year?

No, though the thought is appreciated. Seattle Center has always liked hosting the event which was held there for 15 years before going on pandemic related hiatus the last two years. The issue now is just a straight city budget. The contest as well as many other events were part of a program called “Community Created Events” where the use of the Armory/Center House was subsidized by the city for community run events that were free and interesting to the general public. That is the program right now that has lost funding from the city.

No and nothing in my two sentence statement indicated that. If the economics don’t work out to run the event at Seattle Center, we will have to find an alternate venue.
