Norwescon is one of the Pacific Northwest's driving science fiction and dream shows. Its yearly writing computer programs is jam-loaded with drawing in and energizing occasions sure to excite even the hardest-to-satisfy Trekkie or Whedonite. The celebration has an assortment of occasions and exercises, for example, video and tabletop games, outfit rivalries, craftsmanship displays, meet and welcomes, signature meetings, boards including different influential people in science fiction and dream diversion and substantially more. This year is #44 and will happen in April from the fourteenth to the seventeenth 2022. It happens consistently on Easter Weekend. Norwescon was likewise the name of the eighth World Science Fiction Convention, held in Portland, Oregon, in 1950. It represents The North-western Convention.

Norwescon outgrew the longing of its organizers to have a Worldcon in Seattle in 1981. Be that as it may, there was one significant issue - at that point, a large portion of Pacific Northwest being a fan had next to zero involvement with running cons. Norwescon was along these lines initially shaped as a work to get some training for Worldcon. Acknowledging they would require an enormous gathering from which to draw chips in, the organizers additionally began the Northwest Science Fiction Society or NWSFS. From these modest beginnings, Norwescon appeared.

The primary Norwescon was held in a then-unincorporated region currently known as the city of SeaTac, Washington. It included Theodore Sturgeon as its Guest of Honour (GoH) and drew a little more than 400 participants. The following year, Norwescon climbed the road to the Hyatt Hotel, the site of the main Seattle-supported Worldcon. The Hyatt was the site of Norwescon II through VII, so, all things considered, the show started feeling the tensions of development; it was then moved to SeaTac's Red Lion Inn.

With development came related issues, and following two years at the Red Lion, Norwescon had to track down another area without warning. The show moved back to the Hyatt for a show called Alternacon. The following year carried a major move to the city of Tacoma, where the Sheraton facilitated Norwescon for quite a long time. 1993 carried the show to the Bellevue region, and in 1994 Norwescon got back to the site of the old Red Lion Inn, presently known as the DoubleTree Hotel SeaTac where it has stayed since. That is also the same location that Crypticon is held, which is the premiere Horror Convention. Because of the Covid Virus the last two years did not happen in person, 2020 was cancelled as everything at that time was, and 2021 was on Line streaming,

Norwescon's Guest of Honour list has developed throughout the long term, beginning with a rundown of three: Writer Guest of Honour, Fan Guest of Honour, and Toastmaster. The rundown currently incorporates craftsmen, researchers, volunteers and exceptional visitors as well as numerous different experts. Norwescon has generally attempted to welcome visitors who are meriting the honor and has hence had a lofty line of visitors.
