We'll keep this short, for our readers' benefit--Seattlest.com is now accepting local advertising, which makes great sense because our readers are local, too. In a Seattlest survey, 87 percent of our readers said they live in Seattle, while 97 percent lived in Washington State. (Thank you, Seattle! And West Seattle! And the Eastside!)

You may have thought a turkey-and-gravy-flavored soda would be disgusting. No, it gets worse. A Christmas-season four-pack of Seattle-based Jones Soda features bottles labeled Sugar Plum, Eggnog, Christmas Tree, and Christmas Ham. (There's a Chanukah pack, too, with a dreidel inside: latke, applesauce, chocolate coins, jelly donut.) But we're not here to be disgusting, we're here to be informative.

The first five seasons of Major League Soccer in Seattle will be brought to you by Microsoft and Xbox 360 Live. The team and the Redmond software giant announced the sponsorship today at a press conference. Microsoft has offered the Sounders $20 million for a five year sponsorship. Their sponsorship guarantees that the Sounders' uniforms will have "Xbox 360 Live" stitched across the front in a prominet place. Former Seattlest editor Seth Kolloen got a sneak peak of the uniforms at the press conference today and had this to say about them:

They are lime green, with "XBox 360 Live" across the chest in white, and a "Sounders FC" patch about where you'd put your hand to your heart. There are sea blue accents at waist level. All told, pretty sharp-looking.
