[edit] Fictional Seattleites
This section doesn't list fictional Seattleites it just shows various movies and programs that take place in Seattle. Someone please change the list or think of a better title. --AirLiner 22:06, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Alphabetizing
It would be easier to find someone if the lists were alphabetized. If someone's up to it... --Acid Ammo 19:54, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
Who's the guy in REM? Mike Mills? I think he co-owns the Crocodile. heidimo 04:32, 6 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- It's Peter Buck. Does he actually live in town? Add him if he does. -- Scarequotes 21:01, Mar 6, 2004 (UTC)
Bill Gates is not a Seattleite. He's on the eastside. heidimo 02:17, 13 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- According to his Wikipedia entry, he was born in Seattle, so he should count. Perhaps we should separate the page further into people born in Seattle vs. people who moved there? Or is that too complicated? -- Scarequotes 19:38, Mar 13, 2004 (UTC)
- Not sure. Tom Robbins lives in LaConner--was he from Seattle? I guess it's a list of famous people who were born in Seattle, or lived there at some time? Then I guess we should add Courtney Love. heidimo 23:47, 13 Mar 2004 (UTC)
___ Included in 'moved to Seattle' Dead is Betty MacDonald author of the very funny book and huge bestseller "The egg and I" which told of her life on a chicken ranch in the late 1920'. She became hugely famous from this book which introduced the characters 'Ma and Pa Kettle'. She lived in Seattle on and off for many years before moving to Vashon island in the Puget sound. Betty was a very funny author and wrote two more autobiographical books and several children's books before dying in Seattle in 1958. She is greatly missed.
Just added Theodore Roethke. What about Richard Hugo? Did he ever live in Seattle itself? He taught at the UW, worked at Boeing, and was born in White Center... -- Scarequotes 20:32, Feb 5, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Seattleite vs. Seattlite
So far as I can tell from m-w.com, Google, and a couple of other dictionaries, Seattleite (with an e) is the correct and more common spelling. But if there's an argument to be made for using Seattlite (that is, no e), I'd like to hear it. -- Scarequotes 06:21, August 4, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Request for Comment
A page similar to this one. List of people from San Francisco, is currently under review as an article for deletion, for reasons which would apply to this article as well. I am conducting an RfC on the talk page of the above-mentioned list to determine whether the concensus agrees on keeping such lists or not. Any and all comments are more than welcome.
