The last time the US Open was held in the Pacific NW was 1987 in Portland. The 2012 event will be held in Vancouver Washington just across the Columbia River from Portland. The NORTHWEST CHESS website has just posted the issues of NWC from 1987 to their fine website. The results of the 1987 US Open are in the Sept 1987 issue. http://www.nwchess.com/nwcmag/pdf/NWC_198709.pdf
There a lots of other years of WASHINGTON CHESS LETTER, NORTHWEST CHESS LETTER and NORTHWEST CHESS post on the website.http://www.nwchess.com
Any one going to be interested in a tour of Mt. St. Helens when you come to Vancouver WA for the US Open next year? How about a bus
to an Indian Casino in Rochester WA or Spirit Mountian in Oregon?
Yes, I will be interested in a tour of Mt. St. Helens (but not the casinos).

Both casinos have bus transportation from the Vancouver area. I will
probably check them out by taking the bus soon. I think they leave about 9am and return to Vancouver about 5pm which should work out okay for
those playing the 7pm round schedule.
Will look into tours of Mt. St. Helens.
No desire at all for casinos. And if I did there is one 15 miles from the house.
