Where the heck are our delegates?

Wondering where the Washington and Idaho delegations are hanging out during the convention?

Might be hard to spot them in those shots from the podium. Idaho was supposed to be up front, but got moved to the back of the hall to make room for veep candidate Joe Biden's home state. (See previous post here.)

They're only slightly behind where Washington state started.

Facing out from the podium, Washington is back and to the right, between Texas and Hawaii. Idaho is next to the District of Columbia and behind Tennessee, which is behind Kansas, which is behind Texas.
