Seattlest is growing; egos, waistlines, word counts, substance abuse problems, general sense of foreboding, staff, all of it. About that last one, staff: Seattlest is a collaborative blog and we could always use new additions and right now we're looking to pick up a few hot writer-types to help carry our current lineup of bungling hacks. Specifically, we haven't been giving you enough of the local rock we know that you love. We love it, too, really. We want you to tell us about it. Restaurant reviews would be nice, as well, hey? Those two are easy. We're also looking for someone to help keep Seattlest even vaugely up-to-date on architecture and design in the city. Mayor Gridlock Density is on the make and we want to write about that (architecture, urban design, whatever), but we're also interested in someone who knows where to go to furnish a pad in this city. Finally, what are we missing? If there's a big gaping hole in Seattlest's coverage of the city that you think you can stick a thumb into, get in touch.
If you're at all interested in writing for Seattlest and you're reasonably certain you can contribute a couple times a week, tell us a little about yourself and what keeps your boat afloat in an email. If you have some related writing currently online you can throw a link to that in the envolpe as well. Put a stamp on it and address it to seattlest@gmail.com. Please allow four to six weeks for your Seattlest Contributor's Pack to arrive (including Seattlest shwag ballpoint pen and notepad for 3am inspiration, wireframe glasses guaranteed to make you look at least three IQ points more smart, and Seattlest logo shot glass).

Yeah, um, that reminds me...I'm still waiting for the rest of my schwag. And that pen you gave me was from a Windermere Real Estate office that's closed.
If you do find someone to write about architecture, perhaps they can address the butt-ass-ugly-stucco-condo boom here in Seattle (sorry, this is my biggest peeve regarding Seattle). I'm sick and tired of developers getting away with building the cheapest possible buildings for maximum profit, while we're stuck looking at these eyesores for many years to come. Isn't there anything local government can do to keep this in check? Have we no aesthetic values here? Help!
Michael, that office closed? I'm gonna need that pen back. That could be an ebay-able item and seattlest's gotta eat.
Were you inspired to use that particular piece of clip art by Londonist, or did you find it independently?
Flat out stole it from Londonist, yeah.
Apparently Rob, our editor, found it in a copyright-free archive. The image was titled "Group of People." And he's all like, "Hey! We're a group of people!"
