Note that the regions overlap in some cases, so you can't add up line items indiscriminately and get to a meaningful total.<br><br><img alt="Inline image 1" src="cid:ii_157582ee8361e275" height="253" width="561"><br><br></div>To be a little more indicative, I did measures of how many members could easily get to a given region, given highways, bridges/lakes/ferries, traffic choke points, etc. That's the last two columns. Admittedly, that's based on my read of the map and travel, and there's some certainly some room to debate what I included when I drew the polygons for each total. Someone who knew map APIs way better than I do could use commute estimates to do a better job with this.<br><br></div>Eastside basically wins out mostly because of population density and that it can pick up northern suburbs when the location is north or southern suburbs if the location is south (and sometimes eastern suburbs) as well as Mercer Island and some parts of Seattle. Central/downtown seattle is strong for all the reasons a downtown area tends to be strong (everything sprawls out from it), but of course, finding a location in that area that we can afford for a sectional is a known difficulty that is sometimes less true of eastside, particularly as we lean north or south.<br><br></div>I've warmed myself up enough to start doing work, but I'll try to do a % of unit of commutable score for the planned locations for next year this weekend using the same criteria, and for this past year's sectionals so we can look at what this would suggest vs. what actually happened.<br><br></div>JC<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">--<font size="1"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-family:arial;font-size:small"><br><span style="font-family:arial"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:x-small">JC Chupack</span></font></span></font><div style="font-family:arial;font-size:small"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-family:arial"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:x-small">* Find me on Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, or Twitter: jcchupack</span></font></span></font></div></font></font></div></div>

Eastside and "central" Seattle are the densest. The color coding is by mailing address city, but obviously, some cities are smaller than others by design (e.g., Mercer Island), so that's not inherently useful. <br><br><img src="cid:ii_15757d668e8f5539" alt="Inline image 1" height="537" width="561"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">--<font size="1"><font style="font-family:arial;font-size:small" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br><span style="font-family:arial"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:x-small">JC Chupack</span></font></span></font><div style="font-family:arial;font-size:small"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-family:arial"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:x-small">* Find me on Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, or Twitter: jcchupack</span></font></span></font></div></font></font></div></div>

There were (10+21=) 31 sessions played by players from Units to the south of U446. Although we focus mainly on servicing our U446 membership (in this case South King County), drawing players from adjacent Units is important. It is striking that there was such low attendance by folks from units to the south, especially when we had players all the way from Vancouver BC, Vancouver Island, Bellingham, Anacortes, Everett, and the Olympic Peninsula. There were even (2+6+3+2+2+6=) 21 sessions played by out of state players -- only 10 fewer in total than from Tacoma and Olympia. This suggests the need for better marketing in the Tacoma and Olympia Units (as well as in South King County).</div><div><br></div><div>Thoughts?</div><div><br></div><div>Tim</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div> <br><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Sep 20, 2016, at 10:30 PM,
