Puget Sound area with experience writing about home design or lifestyle topics."

with writers in the Seattle area. Please don't send story suggestions--we'd
rather assign topics to you. Common mistakes: correspondence that contains spelling,
grammatical or factual errors. If you can't send a message without errors, how
can I trust you to turn in quality copy?"
