I've attended the public expo portion of the Portland convention Bricks Cascade for the last 5 or so years with my son, and we are looking at going full on as convention attendees/exhibitors this year. I was giving serious thought to making the trek up to Seattle for Brickcon as well, but alas didn't do so as we just had returned home from a trip to New York. I'm really curious as to how it compares with the Portland one, as I only have my attendance there along with photos/videos to compare it with other conventions around the country.
Regarding attendance, there were roughly 3k tickets for the early entry/full day each day, and at least 1-2k per new entrance time thereafter. I felt that it was much busier this year than last.
As I've never been to Bricks Cascade, I can't speak to the quality of the two compared, but I thought Brickcon was fantastic and worth a trip!

It was phenomenal in person! So much so that Jeff Bezos (the Amazon Bezos) came to check it out and spent the better part of an hour looking through the modules. I took a picture as proof...then wondered who in the room was there as security and could take me out in an instant...
It was an impressive display!
