The 2011 DELPH-IN Summit will take place June 25-29 at the [http://www.clearwatercasino.com/accommodations/amenities.html Clearwater Resort] (and Casino) in Suquamish, WA, near Seattle. This is immediately following [http://www.acl2011.org/ ACL 2011], in Portland, OR. This Summit will be also mostly before, but slightly conflicting with [http://www.icml-2011.org/ ICML 2011] in Bellevue, WA.

Accommodations

To reserve a room at the Clearwater Resort, call +1 866-609-8700 (24 hours/day). Note: That number might not work from outside the US. They can also be reached by email at: reservations -at- clearwatercasino.com. Specify that you are with the DELPH-IN group for our group rates (water-view rooms for US$119/night + tax, non-view rooms for US$99/night

  • tax, both include breakfast). These rates are the same for single or double occupancy, add US$15/night for a third adult and US$25 for a fourth. The deadline for room reservations is FRIDAY June 3rd.

Registration

The registration fee will be approximately US$200-250 per person, depending on how many attendees we have. (Costs are partially offset by a generous donation from the Utilika Foundation.) The registration fee will cover meeting room rental, coffee breaks and lunch for all five days, plus the excursion/banquet on June 26th.

Activities/Climate (what to bring)

The Seattle area has been having an unusually cold spring, thanks to a strong La Niña effect. It is not known yet but not unlikely that this trend towards below-normal temperatures will continue through June. Our normal average high temperature in June is 71 F (21 C) and our normal average low is 53 F (11 C). It is not uncommon to have some light rain in June. Please pack accordingly!

The planned excursion will include a boat ride (about 1:15 each way) as well as some time for hiking on trails in a state park. Please bring an extra (warm) layer for the boat ride and appropriate shoes.

The Clearwater Resort has a rocky beach --- pretty for walking, but not meant for swimming (the water is cold year round). There is also an indoor swimming pool and an outdoor hot tub.

Transportation

The Clearwater Resort is reached by taking the ferry from Downtown Seattle to Bainbridge Island. A shuttle from the resort meets most ferries (during the casino's open hours). The ferry terminal is on the water front in downtown Seattle. To get to Seattle from Portland, we recommend Amtrak (yes, a train!). There is a 6:15 departure from Portland (PDX) on 6/24, which arrives in Seattle (SEA) at 9:45pm, for $50 one way, as well as earlier departures that same day. The train station (King St station) in Seattle is about half a mile from the ferry terminal (though it is not recommended to go on foot after dark). From Sea-Tac airport, you can take Link Light Rail to downtown to catch the ferry. Get off at the Pioneer Square station, which is again about half a mile from the ferry terminal.
