7:00-10:00 Gala Reception at the Pacific Science Center

You will be whisked away on a 90-second
monorail trip to the Seattle Center. From there it's a short walk to the Pacific Science Center. It's a science center so of course there will be dinosaurs to greet you. There will be opportunities to test your powers of vision, strength and reactions in the Body Works exhibition. The question will be whether to test out your powers before or after feasting on a delicious selection of Northwestern foods. You can choose to talk with friends, enjoy a jazz band, or explore the rest of the museum while you munch on the buffet. When you have feasted and explored you are free to take the monorail back to the hotel as it will be running until 11:00pm. The cost of this event is included in the registration fee. The free monorail shuttles will begin running at 6:30pm.
