WV before IPNC?

I’m getting started planning a trip to Oregon this summer, and am making copious use of the search function.

One question I had that didn’t seem to be answered: is the week before IPNC (say Mon-Wed) a good time to come? On the one hand, everyone I want to visit should be in town that week. On the other, they might all be swamped. My other option is probably some time in August.

Thanks,
Michael
