Hugo, Richard
Richard Hugo is possibly White Center's most famous son. That's saying....something. He was, like, a writer guy or something. Anyway, he has this house up on Capitol Hill where they talk about writing a lot and teach people how to do it and stuff. Something like that. So you writer types know who you are. You need to go to some of these events. Seattlest has read your work and believe us, go.
