Seattle, WA - Project Discussion

GC0110 & Kschenk have been added as maintainers and contributors of this metro area. If you go into the files you will find the add more locations options. Let me know if you have an questions on how to use the database.
Thanks guys for volunteering.

Miss Poi

I'd be happy to be a secondary contributor or assist. While not a native in the true sense - I've been here since '79.

cheers!

-- Nick

Thanks Nick I will get you added

While I'm new to POIs generally, I'd be happy in a supporting role with the Seattle projects. If you tell me specific details of the input type you would like, I'd send in Eastside related details (Kirkland, Bellevue).

Mark,
I have added you to the maintainers list and you can find the files from the Metro area page. The files I added you to are the Popular Restaurants and the Top Attractions files. Let me know if you need any help navigating the system.

Miss Poi

Thanks Miss Poi,

I'll start in after the holidays.

-Mark

Hey I saw the great POI's out there for other cities and I was wondering if someone could do a POI for citysearch stuff. Like top bars also cheap eats like cheap Thai and fast food like Dicks would be cool too. Also a new restaurants to check out would be cool too.

Other ideas:
Seattle movie theaters big and small.
easy-to-park free parking
Open 24 hours
Beaches
Historical landmarks
Starbucks in Seattle
hot Eastside locales (kirkland and bellevue)
Good places for a date
free wifi eastside (kirkland and bellevue)

Can we add campgrounds and state parks in and around seattle and our beatiful mountains, lakes and rivers. I would love to have those POI's.

Thanks.

PS. I would love to help with this project.

I live north of Seattle and really love this area, never trade rain for anything

Have a new Garmin GPS and just found this site. Fantastic information here. I scuba dive in the Seattle area, and would be interested in creating a Scuba Diving location POI for Puget Sound. Any interest?

-Mark

Scuba diving is one of our favorite GPS sports here at the factory;) Sorry inside joke couldn't help myself.

Yes we are interested in that file and I am sure that everyone will love it.

Miss POI

Where have I been? Apparently not checking this site. Thanks for setting up the Seattle Metro area. I have some POI to upload, but how do I link them into this metro area?

-Keith

I can do that for you;)

Miss POI

I'd be happy to assist in the project as well. Are there any categories not yet completed?

I'd love to help out, too. I just bought a Garmin Nuvi 360. Right now I am working on a list for all of the Group Health locations. Let me know if I can contribute to anything.

Thanks!

I have given you access to add your favorite Restaurants if you would like, we currently only have 4 in the file right now. What is happening with my Seattle people?

Miss POI

I am a health 'nut', at least that's what my friends and family call me.

Anyway, I just uploaded a POI file for all WA 'Raw Milk' sites based on locations provided from "RealMilk.com".

I went through and took out the dups.

Feel free to modify or suggest additions.

Thanks!

I just got your file out of the queue and was wondering if this was just for the Seattle Metro area or is it all of Washington? I usually don't link to the metro page unless it is just covering the metro area.

Miss POI

I just added two POI (CSV) files for WA, you may want to add them to the project (WA & North OR Thrift Stores & WA Raw Milk locations).

Mostly Western WA.

I put extra work gathering everything because I didn't want 'Eastern Washingtonians' to feel left out.

I can exclude, if necessary.

Feel free to add to the project, since this file has been limited to Seattle Metro area only, instead of all WA, some No. OR and some ID.

I kept within King Co. and on the Eastern side of the 'Penninsula', As far North as Lynwood and as far South as Edgewood.

Please feel free to notify me of any changes that need to be made.

Is this a mistake?

Hi,

I just uploaded a csv file of Seattle off-leash dog parks. Is there a way I can get it linked to here?

Thanks,

Steve

Pets stores maybe?
