Can give you the scoop. Not just a boycott by venders that caused this, actually alot were literally PROHIBITED from showing. City of Seattle was the main problem, not O loughlin group. They put such restrictions on what could be brought in, raised prices thanks to new stadiums, and just made it a very unfriendly place to be. Only reason it was held in Seattle last year was they still had a year left to go on the lease. I will say that it will always be in Monroe from now on, unless a similar type fairground can be found outside the city limits. Spoke with one of the O Loughlin brothers this weekend actually. The one nice thing about Monroe, will be free parking like in Puyallup. Plus, a bigger chance to bring back the big numbers like the old show had.

But from my understanding, there was a trade actually, not a sellout of the show. One in Colorado was traded for this one in Seattle (now Monroe).
