I think it's a nice decision to award an NCAA final to Washington.  It's
things like this that bring a little recognition to a town and help
people remember its name.  Sure, it'll never be "Hockey Town", but
notoriety like this can help a town start attracting people besides just
motorcyclists.  (Anyone else here get to The Mall on Memorial Day
weekend?)

It's really a nice idea . . .
