Welcome to *ProjectSeattle's second newsletter! This newsletter showcases some of the famous faces of the area.


I, *Poetic-Dragon, have created this monthly newsletter as a way to show off Seattle, and the surrounding areas and all things that have to do with it. In time, I hope for this to become more than just the newsletter: maybe a place where Seattlites {and other Washingtonians} can set up devmeets, where we can show off local artist and writers, and all that wonderful stuff.


Well, enough chat. Please, enjoy. And if you love the newsletter, please it or comment or both. It would be greatly appreciated so that I know how well this is recieved. Oh, and if you are going to be a sour-puss and reject the newsletter, PLEASE have the courtesy to NICELY say WHY you don't like it, alright? I would like to make this newletter as good as I can.


Thank you and enjoy
*Poetic-Dragon {aka *Pyrosaint-Stox}

This Month Features Famous Faces of the Area

_{*Please note, this is barely scrapping the tip of iceburg. There were many famous faces that had nothing on here [ex: Bertha Knight Landes, Richard Karn, Edgar Martinez etc...] . There are a few rumored faces that I couldn't completely confirm live in the area or did at one time [ex: Anne McAffrey, Dick Van Dyke, etc...]. I think I did however do a decent job of finding alot of faces, thank you to those who gave me names when I got stuck: *SaintDestruction, ~meiastar, ~Harbinjer, =e-CJ, and *nosyd.}
