She’s survived walkers, Negan, a New York apocalypse, and now she is ready to take on Puyallup. We are honored to be the hosts for her first convention appearance in the Pacific Northwest in well over a decade. Please welcome Lauren Cohan to the 2026 Washington State Horror Con from October 23rd through the 25th.
Lauren Cohan is best known for playing Maggie Greene (later Maggie Rhee) on AMC’s The Walking Dead. She first appeared in season two in 2011, became a series regular in season three, and remained a core cast member through the original series’ end in 2022. She continues the role in the spinoff The Walking Dead: Dead City, where she also serves as an executive producer and directed an episode of season two.
Before joining The Walking Dead, Cohan played Bela Talbot in season three of Supernatural and Rose on The Vampire Diaries. She had a recurring role as Vivian Volkoff on Chuck and later starred as Francesca “Frankie” Trowbridge in ABC’s Whiskey Cavalier (2019).
Her film work includes the lead in the 2016 horror film The Boy, a cameo as Martha Wayne in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Leila Steinberg in All Eyez on Me, and Alice Kerr in Mile 22. She has also done voice work on Invincible and Twilight of the Gods, and appeared in the 2025 independent film When I’m Ready.

Rewind Washington returns in 2027 and we’re packing up the mixtapes, the Saturday-morning cartoons, the faded concert tees, and heading to a new venue for 2027: the Clark County Event Center in Ridgefield, just north of Vancouver, WA.
Mark your calendars now for March 13-14, 2027. If you were with us in Puyallup, you already know what this weekend feels like. It isn’t just a convention. It’s a retro family reunion. We’re keeping that feeling. This is a weekend for the people who still know what “Be Kind, Rewind” means. An special event for people that know the middle initial of Alex Keaton, and for anyone who ever sat too close to the tv screen.
The plan was always to move Rewind Washington across the state, and Clark County is set for Year 2. The Clark County Event Center gives us plenty of room to stretch and share an amazing event with more people across Washington. We love this facility as it houses our Washington State Toy Show twice a year already.
Rewind Washington has always been Summer Con’s love letter to the decades that raised us across television, movies, music, and sports. Meeting celebrity guests at their tables, getting autographs, and taking selfies that will become lock-screen photos. The panels turn into aging group therapy with friends.
The show floor will be filled with vendors selling the merch you didn’t know you still needed. The artist alley will be filled with artisans and creators and attendees reminiscing Rewind Washington will feature retro gaming.
A new venue means a few practical things will shift and the little logistics that make a weekend run smoothly will still need to be ironed out as we get closer. For now, the headline is simple: Rewind Washington 2027 is headed to the spacious Clark County Event Center - March 13-14, 2027.
Start planning the road trip. Split a hotel with a buddy. Get ready for the surprises and guest announcements that will begin in October. Vendor and Artist Applications are open now. Admission Tickets will go on Sale in December. Let’s Rewind it again.
