Who would have traveled across the country to be a part of ActiveRain's 2nd Seattle RainCamp and participate in ActiveRain's 5th Anniversary celebration? Well, ME! Hundreds of others also participated in RainCamp Seattle and what a great time we had! Besides learning new tricks of the trade, meeting many of the West Coast ActiveRain members and celebrating with the AR staff was simply an incredible experience!
We then had an evening celebration at the

48 Comments on Seattle RainCamp & ActiveRain's 5th Anniversary Party - What a TRIP!
Thanks for sharing, Debe. I'm off to Rain Camp Orlando in September, and I can't wait. It looks like a blast!
Debe, RainCamp Home Turf had to be special. No RainCamp is a disappointment for the information and socialization, but to have one at Base Camp would have been just . . . . GREAT!
Debe, thank you for sharing your great experience at Seattle special birthday raincamp. Love the tips.. will have to come back and reread again.... since I didn't make notes of your list.
Debe, sounds like a fantastic event and a great time was had by all. Nice to see the photos.
What a blast! The fish toss, the slippers, the first Starbucks, the "Yummy", none of this would have been so memorable if it weren't for RainCamp. So glad I was there and got to be part of it.
The people are really what make these events so spectacular, but the content and knowledge that comes from the sharing at these things is what can truly help your business flourish in so many ways.
Thanks for sharing this Debe and for sharing all that you did this years at RC.
You rock!
Wow! Looks like a lot of fun at RAINCAMP. Thanks for sharing the photos.
Debe ~ We so wish we were there but with Frank's Dad not doing so well, we really wanted to be able to see him for Father's Day ~ as it turned out Frank's Dad passed the Friday night before Father's Day ~ God works in mysterious ways ~ We thank you so much for sharing what RainCamp is about and what we have to look forward to when we attend the Chicago RainCamp in October ~ Thanks for all you do for ActiveRain ~
Debe, How much fun. I would have loved to have been there with all of you!
Debe, I thoroughly enjoyed this! Thank you for helping us to enjoy it too. It looks like so much fun and information that is invaluable! I vote for many, many years of RainCamps! And, hopefully some time we will meet.
Hi Debe - Cool trip. Rain Camp was here in NY like the week I joined in April. I had no idea what I was missing then - I'll have to catch it next time! Thanks for sharing!
Debe great post and pictures! Looks like a blast! Sorry you had trouble with your flights going home!
Debe: Thanks for the report. I was sorry I couldn't be there. Hopefully we can connect at future Raincamps!
I soooooo wanted to be at this RainCamp. It just wasn't to be though. I'm thinking about the Chicago RainCamp... I'd consider Los Angeles but only if Jane will pick me up at the airport, house and feed me, drive me around, and then drop me back at the airport when it's all over.... Jane?
I like the way Starbucks 1 uses QR codes to generate Facebook likes and Twitter follows. Great way to leverage mobile technology.
I am glad you enjoyed Seattle. I lived there for 5 years and most of my family still lives in Washington and Oregon. I have not been back in over 15 years. We wanted to go to see our family but then my sister left to Hawaii because here daughter was having a baby and she wanted to be with her for a while. I also had all our plans ready to go to raincamp but then we had this huge opportunity for me to speak at an REO Conference in Las Vegas and the days apart were too close to do both and still run two businesses here, especially when negotiating short sales. I was able to tell over 200 agents, brokers and asset managers about Active Rain and only 4 of them actively blog so that is a lot of new member potential for AR. I hope many of them join. Katerina
Wow - It seems like an add for the next raincamp, and a lot of fun. I'm sure it was a lot of fun and I'm sure you found a lot of new information to help your business.
Okay I haven't been to a Raincamp yet this year. Would love to go to either Los Angeles or Chicago. But not really happy that I missed Raincamp Seattle. Seems like you all had a great time. Would've loved to meet every single person I saw in your pictures Debe. Thanks for sharing. Great post.
Adam: Thank you! It truly was awesome!
Marc: Thanks and I do wish I would have gotten to meet you as well!
Lynda: WOW, can you believe it! Wish I would have gone to that one or one of the others that they had that first year. I didn't realize you'd been here the entire time!
Charles: The pleasure was all mine! I am SO lucky to have met you and at least gotten a few minutes to chat with you! What a TREAT!
Rich: What can I say? You are everything that I thought you'd be! It was so nice to meet you and your wife in Seattle and believe me, the trek there was such a pleasure. I'm looking forward to the next time we get to hang out!
Sally: Thank you and it was a pleasure meeting you as well! Glad our presentation could help and if you ever get stumped...just read others' posts here! That should cure the writer's block for you!
Michael: LOL I almost bought one of those Sleepless t-shirts while I was there--as it was definitely reflective of my time there!
Cheryl: Thank you, thank you and thank you! LOL I'll see if I can't do a video on that--great idea. I need to 'beef' mine up so, that's not a bad idea. It won't be until the weekend that I can work on it and I'll need Deb Brooks' help too!
Mike: I'll probably see you there then--if the stars align!!
Ed: That was my 4th one and I've loved every one of them but, this one was SPECTACULAR!
Don & Judi: Bookmark away--I hope they help. There was a TON of information presented there, for SURE!
Michael: Thank you so much! I wish they were better but, I just HAD to get them up before another week went by!
Our Brad!! What a great time we had and oh, how YUMMY it was, indeed! We did learn SOOO much, and from you, more and more motivation! You're the one that ROCKS and thank YOU for everything! I do wish we'd have had more 'play' time though! We had a blast with you and can't wait for the next one!
Mike: Thanks and it was GREAT!
Frank & Karen: I'm so sorry to hear about Frank's Dad. There will be other RainCamps and I'm sure Chicago in October will be just as spectacular.
Connie: Yep, we needed another fabulous roomie--especially one who provides the beverages AND the glasses!!
Deb: I'm still kicking myself that I didn't go to Dallas--it would have been SUCH a treat to have met you! We still have some work to do together though!
Andre: Definitely--you must attend at least one! What about Chicago? That one is coming up soon! Your head will be spinning when you leave!
Debra: Hey, I'm home and it's forgotten! The memories of the trip will last a lifetime though--we DID have such a wonderful time!
Paul: Thanks and I agree...one day!
Craig: She offered to take Ray to Universal if we'd come to LA so, I'm sure that you'd be alot easier on her!! No DOUBT she'd do that for you!!
John: Good catch--and I agree! (That's why I snapped that one!!)
Katerina: That's great! We had a few hundred attendees in Seattle--it was truly the best RainCamp I've been to! The weather was absolutely perfect--in fact, it didn't rain one drop while we were there! It was a crazy time but, I managed to get two Offers submitted on Day 1 and another on Day 2 so, there was definitely alot of working going on while I was there as well. Thankfully they are 3 hours behind us and I could get up at 6:00 and work until 8:30 and it was 9-11:30 here! Worked beautifully for me! I even dealt with a few short sales while there; what ever happened to taking a 'real' vacation?!
Larry: I didn't mean for it to sound like an ad but, you know how I LOVE ActiveRain!! I just thought it was so well put-together and the entire thing just went off without a hitch--AND I actually learned even more goodies for my biz!
Lanre: We missed you!! Loved your comments on the photos on FB too! You would have fit right in with the crazy people I was hanging with there! LOL The post has only a fraction of the information that was shared there--If I only get 3 things implemented, I'll have a boost in business in the very near future!! Now, to get caught up and IMPLEMENT!!
Debe, love this post on the 5th Anniversary celebration and RainCamp. the .pdf tip is especially relevant for me - thanks!
We almost made it, but with our son's graduation from high school, my BFF from high school who lives there just returning from Eurpoe, and business, the timing just wasn't right. So glad you and others have shared and documented the event! Definitely have to go to Starbucks 1 when we do finally visit later this year!
