Fort Worden State Park

Fort Worden State Park Conference Center

The 2023 EVO-WIBO meeting will be held at the Fort Worden State Park in Port Townsend, Washington. This Washington state park is right on Puget Sound on the Olympic Peninsula, with a small marine science center, a nice beach, and many recreation opportunities nearby.

Accommodation for this year's meeting will be a mix of rooms in the general's quarters, dorm rooms and barracks, each priced according to cost. It will also be possible to stay offsite and pay for registration and meals only. Camping may be possible if you make arrangements with Fort Worden directly. Meals will be held in the dining hall facility very near our meeting rooms. Registration for the meeting includes two nights of accommodation, allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration also includes all meals on Saturday and breakfast on Sunday morning, as well as snacks at several coffee breaks and refreshments at evening social events. (Note: Friday evening dinner is not included.) Fort Worden dormitories provide bedding (pillow, sheet, blanket, pillow case), bath towels, soap, cup, and personal shower mat.

Directions to Fort Worden are available at the park's web-site. For many of us in the region, the most efficient travel to the area requires a short ferry ride across Puget Sound. Check the ferry schedules to time your arrival.

Registration and a welcome reception will take place Friday night in the Building 204 DN, on the right about a block from the entrance to the park.
