[edit] Structure
All related pages should be classified in Category:Seattle, Washington, Category:Seattle metropolitan area, or a subcategory of one of these categories.
[edit] Cities in the Seattle metropolitan area
Many of these need serious work, as they aren't far from the auto-generated entries. List of cities in Washington (by population) might help with this; it highlights Seattle-area cities in green.
[edit] Seattle, Washington
- See Seattle, Washington.
We are working on turning this article into a featured article. To do so, we need to make the lists that we turned into prose (see especially Seattle institutions) even less like lists, which is how many of them still read.
[edit] Seattle neighborhoods
So far, we have named neighborhoods XXXXX, Seattle, Washington. Many articles haven't yet been started.

[edit] Geography

[edit] Photos wanted
Free images, of course. For some of these, we have fair use images, but those aren't really a good solution.
- Even though I'm largely taking a hiatus from Wikipedia, I'll keep working on this. Requests welcome. And if anyone wants to do a photo expedition, let me know. - Jmabel | Talk 19:17, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

- Sherman Alexie
- William Rankin Ballard
- Paul Schell
- current public office holders
- Norm Stamper
- Buildings
- Blue Moon Tavern

- Under way at commons:Category:Coffeehouses in Seattle. We now have images of the Allegro, the B&O, both All City Coffee locations, the Panama Hotel coffeehouse, the Wannabee, Zeitgeist in Pioneer Square, Top Pot on Fifth, and Herkimer. We could use more. - Jmabel | Talk 23:24, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
- The Hat and Boots (Georgetown)
- We should probably (for Wikimedia Commons) have representative images of every building on every college campus in town (and across the Lake as well)
- Landmarks
- Current Kingdome picture sucks, simple overhead.
- Neighborhoods
- Under way at commons:Category:Neighborhoods of Seattle
- Yesler Terrace
- Liable to be torn down soon; we have eight images in the otherwise empty Commons:Category:Housing projects -- Jmabel | Talk 23:24, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
- Street scenes in Capitol Hill
- Events
- First Thursday in Pioneer Square
- I did some of these, but we could still use more. See commons:Category:619 Western, Seattle and commons:Category:Art galleries - Jmabel | Talk 05:16, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

- Major events at Seattle Center

- Northwest Folklife Festival

[edit] Resources
- The government archives of Washington state, all the way back to the first election in Washington Territory, have been put online (news article). The website is http://www.digitalarchives.wa.gov/. Surely there's information here we can slide in to our 'pedia, at the very least, election and office holder records, perhaps even detailed census information. (Mentioned by Golbez 21:07, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC) on Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous) He doesn't say anything about whether some of this might not be public domain; a note on that would be useful.)
- HistoryLink is an excellent self-described Online Encyclopedia of Washington State History. The materials are copyrighted, so have respect for that, but the information is uniformly excellent and there are usually numerous useful references on most articles.
