Thanks for putting together a list! I have a similar list in a spreadsheet on my Google Drive and this made me think of a few items I missed.
One thing I would like to note - there is no price difference between two district events and a regional. They will either cost you $6000 for rookie teams or $5000 for veteran teams, this is why your registration fee was more expensive this year!

Teams in the PNW District will be presented with an invoice for $10,652 for the 2016 season participation fees (Don’t panic! Read on). Teams in the PNW District will be presented with a list of offsetting grants from Washington FIRST Robotics and Oregon FIRST Robotics to lower this cost to between $5,000 and $6,800. All FIRST payments will be made to Washington FIRST Robotics for the 2016 season. The participation fee includes all registration fees up to and INCLUDING the District Championship registration fee. Washington FIRST Robotics and Oregon FIRST Robotics will be actively working to help decrease the costs to teams. If we do well, we will be able to lower your net costs to below $5,000. All payments for FRC will be directed to Washington FIRST Robotics.

So whatever the total cost for FRC teams in PNW was, included everything for the year (KoP, 2 district events and DCMP, provided they qualified).
