There's one (I think in the link above, but I looked at so many, I'm not 100% sure) that had teepees.
Whoa. Good myth.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I love the idea of prom in a yurt

If you guys are interested in the idea (isn't next year the West Coast's turn?), Fort Flagler is also cool: [link]
We had a class retreat there in college. It was awesome. You're also fairly close to Port Townsend if you need to make a supply run.

I was thinking of coming to look that up! It's where An Officer and A Gentleman was filmed, correct?
Fort Flagler offers a variety of unique accoommodations for rent. The Fort Flagler Environmental Learning Center (ELC) makes a fun overnight camp get-away for large groups, and several vacation homes are available for overnight family vacationing.
Fort Flagler ELC:
The ELC, consisting of Camp Hoskins (capacity: 180), Camp Richmond (capacity 52) and Camp Wilson (capacity: 29), accommodates a total of 261 people in three dormitory camp arrangments. Guests can reserve one, two, or all three facilities. All camps include a dining hall, kitchen, plates and cooking utensils, as well as restroom/shower facilities. Prices vary depending on size of the group. For information or reservations, call the ELC office at (360) 902-8600 or toll free at (800) 360-4240.

We stayed at one of the Camps. I think it was Hoskins, which means it was probably Richmond. *g*
IIRC, Officer and A Gentleman was filmed at Fort Warden, which is in Port Townsend. Fort Flagler is like Fort Warden, but less touristy/restored. Sadly, the whole running-around-after-dark-in-abandoned-bunkers stuff we did in '96 would probably be harder to get away with now, but I maintain that it's a great place.

And Port Townsend has some great shopping, too! (I got lots of nice stuff there a few Christmases ago.)

My stepfather was Mayor of Port Townsend, back in the day. He helped establish the Jazz Fest.

Fort Flagler ELC:wow I popped in at the right time. I've been avoiding the thread since I can't make this years f2f. But that sounds like fun! Is it too early to cast a vote?

We're not to that point, but it is true that if we were to do something like that, it would probably be necessary to make reservation and/or put down a deposit now/this year. I'd be willing to do some legwork to see if that's true or not. Or, you know, if anyone else wants to before I get around to it, have at it.
