Conifur Northwest 2002

Conifur Northwest 2002 was a furry convention, the fifth annual Conifur Northwest.
 * Location: Sheraton Tacoma Convention Center - Tacoma, Washington, U.S.A.
 * Guest of Honor: Marci McAdam
 * Attendance: 460

Location
The Best Western went out of business with almost no notice in the middle of summer, sending con staff scrambling for a new location. The Sheraton Tacoma had much more space and nicer facilities, though less access to fast food joints.

Events
Conifur Northwest 2002 included the first Fursuit Challenge, where a team of volunteers constructed a suit of Nootka, the con mascot, on-site.
