I went to the Sasquatch poster exhibition last night. It was really nice to be able to see most of this year's posters displayed. In particular, I liked the posters for REM, The Cure, The Flaming Lips, Death Cab For Cutie, Modest Mouse, Beirut, Siberian, and Grand Archives when I saw them in person.
None of them were for sale at the event (a notice said to try contacting the artist for purchase information). In the past I've either tried contact the artist through his or her website or going to the Flatstock exhibition at Bumbershoot - a lot of the Sasquatch poster artists have prints there. I'm not sure if they'll be available at the merch booths at the festival.
They were, however, giving away nice prints of the main festival poster by Don Clark.

The link you posted was referring to the 2007 Neko Case Sasquatch performance. I've still got my fingers crossed that she'll be there with the New Pornographers, though!

The Flaming Lips built their own tent to show "Christmas on Mars." (I'm excited to see how they control the experience inside the tent!) It holds approximately 200-250 people per showing, and there will be multiple showings on Sunday, but that should be the only movie shown.

"Christmas on Mars" will not be shown on a stage at Sasquatch. The Lips are building their own tent to show the movie in. Quote from Kliph, the Lips' drummer on the Flaming Lips messageboard:
". . . my arms are sore beyond belief from swinging a sledgehammer all day helping put up this tent that we're going to show "Christmas On Mars" in at Sasquatch and a few other festivals."
And earlier, he also mentioned Michael Ivins, the bassist, working on figuring out the surround sound for the movie.
