One of my favorite Seattle blogs, now that I’ve been following the blog scene up there for a couple of months, is the West Seattle Blog. They been providing in-depth coverage of the changes coming to the West Seattle water taxi, and they have a big post about what’s coming up. There will be a new dock, a new boat, year round service, and possibly expanded shuttle service to get people from their house to the ferry dock.
West Seattle Blog has also been right on top of the fire that ocurred at the Alki Homestead Restaurant a few days ago, with an inital post that updated constantly as news came in, and a follow-up post from this morning.
WSB is a great example of what a placeblog should be like, at least when it comes to news coverage. And now that I’m also following them on Twitter, it seems like they’re constantly updating, sending out tweets at a rate rivaling some of the people that are supposedly “top users”. I wish I could make Around Carson half as great as WSB.
Thanks for the kind words! We’re former Nevadans btw (I lived in Las Vegas for six years in teenagehood and young adulthood, then co-publisher and I were back in Vegas for two years during my TV-gypsy days). I think I fell so hard in love with Seattle upon first sight in early 1988 (three years before we moved here) BECAUSE I was living in Vegas at the time and the contrast was so stunning.
We’ll watch for your local work when you get here!
