Championships location from 07 and onwards

I'm going to be unhappy and complain anytime the event is not associated with Disney. I've grown attached to the optimism each organization offers and want to see nothing more than for such organizations to join forces and succeed. I don't like the implicit difference between contracting space in Atlanta and being invited to Epcot, if that makes any sense. I know, of course, that the Disney events weren't established over a handshake and some friendly words, but the discussion surrounding it did a much better job of creating that illusion. Atlanta is, to turn a phrase, strictly business.

Anyhow...

Earlier, someone suggested that Seattle might make a good host for the event. Unfortunately, I doubt the city has the infrastructure to support something as large as FIRST. There is the large Washington State Trade & Convention Center , but it is located in the heart of downtown. That's great for business travelers, really, because it's easily accessible -- but horrible for teachers and parents who have to worry about wandering students.
