Funny how times change... It seems everyone is talking about Seattle these days, but back in 1968 us locals were enamored with a new television series, Here Comes the Brides. It was a story of the lonely lumberjack pioneer days of the 1860s around Elliott Bay and the Bolt Brother’s scheme to recruit available women from New Bedford, Massachusetts to settle here and marry.I had to refresh my memory and did a little digging to rediscover the cast included Joan Blondell, Bobby Sherman, and David Soul. I don’t remember the series much except for the fact it was totally corny, but in typical Seattle style, even for back then, it addressed social issues like ecology, business ethics, racism, and discrimination.The biggest thing to us was it was about our town! Our story was on TV! We hardly m... 02/17/2017

Power of Niche Marketing Have you ever gone to your family doctor only to be referred to a specialist who treated only patients with our exact ailment? Were you then surprised when you showed up at the specialist's office to find a packed waiting room? This happened to me a couple of years ago when I went to the dentist and I discovered I needed a root canal. I naturally assumed my dentist would just book an appointment to take care of it, but my dentist informed me that she doesn't do root canals. She wanted to send me to her root canal expert instead. I thought this was a little strange but when I asked her why she didn't just handle root canals she said it was in her client's best interest to work with someone who was the expert on this procedure. So off I went to the root canal den... 01/13/2017
