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.
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.
Seattle neighborhoods
So far, we have named neighborhoods XXXXX, Seattle, Washington. Many articles haven't yet been started.

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.
