Sessions met on the campus of Peninsula College in Port Angeles on the north coast of Washington's Olympic Peninsula.

The conference this year departed somewhat from custom in having two sets of parallel sessions: one descriptive/theoretical and one applied. The descriptive/theoretical sessions consisted of the customary discussion of the papers on descriptive and theoretical linguistic topics. The applied sessions consisted of presentations and workshops on issues in the learning, teaching, and revitalization of the native languages of the northwest. There were over 100 participants and more than 30 presenters in the two sessions.  Contributors to the descriptive/theoretical sessions submitted their manuscripts for inclusion in the collected papers for the conference.
