- Steve and Lynette currently live in the Eastern Washington graticule, but are moving to the Western in two weeks, and will attend whichever meetup is most convenient whenever they are able.
- Dan technically lives in the very bottom of the Frederick graticule, but will be attending meetups in this graticule when it's more convenient (gas is expensive!).
