Editor's note...
Can you believe it's already issue 2 of the Seattle Stylesheet? We can't! But we're happy to say that time really does fly when you're having fun. We've filled this issue with lots of Seattle 'standards', as well as a few new finds. In addition to the many great links you'll find in this issue, make sure to check out SSF's new Voting Style Guide (accessible from our homepage). Also, keep an eye out for your very own SSF Membership card!! At long last, you'll be able to identify yourself as an official SSF member. If we have your mailing address, you can expect it within the next two weeks, if we don't have your mailing address, we'll be in touch via email soon.
Thanks for the great feedback and suggestions on our last issue. As always, if you have a question, comment or suggestion for the next stylesheet, or you'd like to become a stylesheet sponsor, we'd love to hear from you. Email us at or give us a ring at 206.324.4850.
