Startup Weekend is coming to Seattle in the New Year and this time around it takes place on Febuary 6-8th at Google's offices in Fremont. This will be the second Startup Weekend in Seattle - the last one happened in January 2007 at Adobe’s offices.

Founded in 2007 by Andrew Hyde, the weekend is a concept of a conference focusing on learning by creating.
