| − | '''Cancelled''' [[Westercon]] 73, originally called Westercon 2020, "Perfect Vision", was originally scheduled to be held July 2-5, 2020 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Seattle Airport in [[SeaTac, WA]]. It was postponed to July 1-4, 2021 and then turned into a virtual convention. It was then cancelled entirely. All due to the [[Covid-19]] epidemic. [[Westercon 74]] originally selected for 2021, moved to 2022 to accommodate it.

| − | At some point Woehrle quit and Armstrong took over, but by April 2021 they had determined that they did not have the staff to run a convention and cancelled the convention entirely. By the Westercon rules, this threw the convention into the hands of the [[LASFS]] Board of Directors which elected to hold Westercon in conjunction with [[Loscon 47]] on November 26-28, 2021 in [[Los Angeles, CA]]; however, the only things they added to Loscon were the Westercon business meeting and site selection -- Westercon's [[GoHs]] did not move.

Site selection was conducted by [[Loscon 47]] in November 2021. All members of [[Westercon 73]] who did not request refunds were eligible to vote.
