For all attendees
Increasing attendance as well as glowing feedback have demonstrated that PNBA members are in support of continuing the association’s Spring Pop-Up gatherings. To ensure we can continue to deliver this experience annually to an ever-rotating corner of the PNBA region, an access fee will be charged for the first time at the 2026 gathering. Your $50 contribution helps with event venue rentals and includes a lunch, coffee and pastries, and reception refreshments over the course of ten hours of education and author programming. Thank you for your love and support of the Pop-Up!​
​

Thanks to a generous sponsorship from HarperCollins, every registration made before April 3
​will be discounted $10 from the original event registration fee!
​

Where to stay, eat and drink: ​

PNBA has secured special rates for Pop-Up attendees at the Best Western Plus Edmonds Harbor Inn. Conveniently located in downtown Edmonds, the hotel is  just steps away from all the venues we will use this year, as well as the best food and drink that Edmonds has to offer. Look for details on where to eat and where to park soon.
Coming soon.
