I think Harvey hit it right on the head with his list of what to look for in a potential site and time. It may be that two rendezvous' would better suit the needs of those interested if north Idaho is too far from the Seattle area. We'll just have to see who shows interest. My personal preference would be two. One in early summer at Pend Oreille, Coeur D'Alene, Priest, or even Flathead Lakes and then one in the fall on the coast, such as the San Juan trip that was discussed last year. That would line up with my sailing plans for this coming year perfectly! :-) At any rate, we'll at least have an informal weekend sail sometime this year.
