Well I just got back from Sakura con in Seattle and the con was a lot like Fanime in San Jose , but just a bit smaller. There was no lack of cosplayer and lots of things to do. The dealer room was much bigger than I was expecting it to be, but on the other hand the artist alley was put way on the top floor and back in the corner to make sure no one find it or hears from it again. But the weirdest part of the con was the entire security team for the con must have been from the local retirement home, I mean the youngest security person was like 55. It had one of the best game selection of any con going form single street fighters and Halo to the latest Arcade games and one more thing that was fun was they even had a bunch of the oldies.
But all in all I give Sakura Con a 7/10.

Also found a great hidden artist, you should look her up.
