I live on Maui and even though the Maui High Performance Computing Center is here plus the Haleakala Observatory- I've met only 3 or 4 geeks my whole time here, and no tech entrepreneurs. Of course, I can't complain. I mean, I live on Maui.
I just heard about Ignite Seattle (http://igniteseattle.com) and it made me think about this, In Portland the best I know of is OEF (Oregon Entrepreneur's Forum), but its not nearly as hacker oriented as Ignite Seattle seems to be (although I haven't been).
Anyone know any for Vancouver, BC?
Not really, but feel free to drop by Stamps Landing (where Dabble DB and Snipshot have our offices) for a beer some time... email me first to set something up.
