Reading Local Seattle

{ Seattle Book Fair in Columbia City }

This note from Paul Doyle regarding the Seattle Book Fair:

Announcing Columbia City’s 2009 Seattle Book Fest

Remember the old Northwest Book Festival on the waterfront? Seattle’s Columbia City community is bringing it back. It’s going to be very cool event with at least 50 authors in attendance and over 80 exhibitors. This is a grass roots effort with all the funding coming from participants. In order to get started we need you to sign up now.

The event will be held October 24-25 at the Columbia City Event Center, a charmingly converted historic school building at 3526 S. Edmunds, a block off Rainier and a block from the Columbia City Light Rail Station. So far the response has been terrific with dozens of local writers and bookstores already committed.

Booths are the standard 10 foot by 10 foot space with an 8 foot table and two chairs. They cost $150 if paid by July 31, $200 if paid by August 31 and $300 if paid by September 30. Don’t delay. Send in your booth reservation and check now to (a PDF of the announcement and form):
