KCTS 9 looking for people to do restaurant reviews on a new TV show

Monday, December 12, 2011


"Check, Please!" - New local series premieres Thursday, March 8, 2012, at 7:00 p.m.

Everyone has their opinion on the best sushi bar, burger joint or hidden-away neighborhood gem. Now Northwest eaters will have a chance to see how their favorite local spot stacks up on Check, Please! Northwest, a new half-hour KCTS 9 series premiering on Thursday, March 8, 2012, at 7:00 p.m.

Already one of the top-rated locally produced series in five other cities including Chicago and San Francisco, Check, Please! is a fun, lively, unpredictable showcase for Seattle and the Northwest's vibrant food scene, featuring some of the world's best chefs and a bounty of locally grown foods.

Do you love good food and good conversation? Apply to be a guest on the first season of Check, Please! Northwest.

Every week, Check, Please! brings three guests from all walks of life together to hash it out over their favorite restaurants, from the down-homiest diners to the fanciest four-star destinations. Each guest picks one restaurant for the other two reviewers to visit anonymously. After sampling each other's recommendations, they reconvene on the show to discuss, dispute, and celebrate their dining experiences. At the end of each show, restaurants are rated based on the panel’s discussion.
"Our viewers are going to love this series," says producer Nicole Metcalf. "Seattle is a food lover's paradise. Check, Please! lets regular diners take center stage to share and defend their opinions on the best food our city has to offer."

“I love Seattle,” says series creator and executive producer David Manilow from Chicago, where Check, Please! is entering its fifth season as the highest-rated local program on public television station WTTW. “The city has a wonderful blend of neighborhood favorites and cutting-edge restaurants. I'm thrilled that we can bring an authentic, diverse and mouth-watering look at this thriving food scene every week.”

“We strongly believe that this program will quickly become one of the most popular locally produced series in the Pacific Northwest, once again reinforcing the value that KCTS provides the viewing public,” says Ron Sevart, CEO of the Space Needle, the main sponsor of Check, Please! Northwest. “As the icon of Seattle, we are always looking at new ways to continue to show off the best that our city has to offer. This program will become a regular must-see show for food lovers at every level."

If you get an interview for the show, be sure to tell us about it.

Our News Partner King 5.com

Saturday, September 24, 2011

The ShorelineAreaNews has been a News Partner of The Seattle Times for almost two years. This is a partnership arrangement where we use them as a resource and they have a page which lists all the Community Blogs with our most recent story. In addition, they feature five stories a day on their main page and we have been pleased to have our SAN stories featured frequently.

As part of the Seattle Times partnership group, we have access to and conversations with the other 30 Local News Sites, occasionally sharing stories. The most valuable connection for the SAN has been with the nearby Snohomish County sites. From the beginning, we formed a local partnership, sharing resources and information.

And now we have a new partner: KING 5 online. King 5 and The Seattle Times have been news partners for several years.

King 5 just adopted all The Seattle Times Neighborhood News Sites. They use a similar method to The Times, where a few stories are featured on the main page, with a link that goes to all the King 5 Neighborhood News sites. They are apparently choosing which stories to list, as several of us have more than one story in the list.

The SAN story on the proposed redistricting plan for the King County Council has been on the front page for several days. We are pleased to have the new readers who find us through the King 5 site.

And we are pleased to be partnered with major news outlets like The Times and King 5.

Shoreline identified again as a “must-live” regional location

Monday, May 31, 2010

By Tavia Tan, City of Shoreline

The City of Shoreline has once again been featured as a top place to live in the greater Seattle region. In fact, Shoreline and one of its oldest neighborhoods, Richmond Beach, fill two of the 15 spots on the list for “must-live” neighborhoods in Seattle Met’s Best Places to Live 2010 issue on newsstands now.

Shoreline has been in Seattle magazine’s Best Places to Live list regularly over the years – ranking number one in 2005 and 2008. In both magazines, cities and neighborhoods are ranked according to a number of criteria such as home values, park acreage, crime rates and other quantitative data that helps determine the quality of life residents enjoy.

“Shoreline’s recognition as a great place to live is a much-deserved testament to our community’s dedication, hard work and investment over the years to maintaining – and improving – Shoreline’s quality of life,” says Shoreline Mayor Keith McGlashan. “And what perfect timing! Yet one more accomplishment to add to the list as we celebrate our 15th anniversary of incorporating as a city.”


In determining this year’s list, Seattle Met (aka Seattle Metropolitan magazine) looked at market value data such as median home price, information about people such as diversity and basic facts such as minutes to downtown Seattle both during peak and off-peak times.
Besides enjoying an overall high quality of life, the City of Shoreline was also recognized as having some of the best home values in the region. Seattle Met says “…Shoreline is as close to a suburb as you’re going to find on this side of the lake. But in actuality, it’s a city of 14 well-defined neighborhoods, each with a character all its own.” It continues with, “Put simply: You get more for your money in Shoreline, and you don’t have to cross the 520 bridge to do it.” Other communities noted in this category include Columbia City, Ballard, Maple Leaf and Renton Highlands.

One of Shoreline’s neighborhoods, Richmond Beach, was noted as one of the locations with the most stable home prices. “Even with Puget Sound views and access to the recently renovated Richmond Beach Saltwater Park, home prices in this waterfront enclave aren’t nearly as expensive as you might expect,” notes the magazine. Normandy Park, Woodinville, Capitol Hill and Kirkland are also listed as solid investments.

Seattle Met gathered data on 116 communities, much of which is charted in the magazine with even more available on its website. Relative to the eastside cities of Bellevue, Redmond, Bothell and Kirkland, Shoreline has a higher walkablity quotient and a lower crime rate than most. Of the non-Seattle neighborhoods in King County, Shoreline has a walk score of 65 (versus 68 for Kirkland, 53 for Bellevue, 48 for Redmond and 45 for Bothell). Shoreline also ranked fairly well on the “crimes” index (remember, lower is better) scoring 33 versus 42 for Kirkland, 37 for Bellevue, 27 for Bothell and 34 for Redmond.

Seattle Times mentions Shoreline in jail article

Saturday, May 15, 2010

Shoreline got some nice coverage in the Seattle Times article about the county council's decision not to build a new jail. Mayor Keith McGlashan was quoted and the Ballinger Neighborhood was mentioned by name.

Jail no longer needed: Seattle, Shoreline halt site search

Shoreline Mayor Keith McGlashan said the county's offer to extend cities' use of its jails and work with the cities on long-range jail planning "gives us confidence" to stop the siting process. He said that's "good news for our citizens, particularly the neighbors of Ballinger."

The Ballinger neighborhood of Shoreline was one of six possible jail sites the north and northeast cities were examining in an environmental-impact study that also included locations in Seattle, Bellevue and unincorporated King County.

Shoreline Area News partners with The Seattle Times

Tuesday, March 23, 2010

ShorelineAreaNews has joined the group of regional blogs partnering with the Seattle Times.  The arrangement is not contractual, but a friendly, working agreement.  The Times will expedite permission for blogs to use staff photos and some other resources, and the blogs will let the Times know when there is breaking news in their region.

In addition, the bloggers are all in contact with each other, with the ability to share local news across boundaries.  The SAN has already made contact, through the Times, with the MyEdmondsNews blog and the MountlakeTerraceNews blog.

The goals of the partnership include:
  • Enhancing communication between the respective sites and The Times to share news tips and perhaps collaborate on news gathering.
  • Linking to and promoting stories on partner sites when it helps fill coverage holes.
  • Exploring tools that might enhance advertising opportunities across the partner sites.
  • Learning about how such a partnership benefits the respective sites.
Editor Diane Hettrick says, "It's helpful to talk to other people who are doing the same thing you are. I've already gotten a lot of technical assistance from one of the new partners. And I'm planning to ask immediately for a nifty aerial shot of Point Wells that I saw in the Times. The SAN budget doesn't cover helicopter rentals."

According to an article in the online Enterprise newspaper, they filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in December to restructure their finances.

Lynnwood-based Metropolitan Graphics filed Chapter 11. The company is the parent of the Journal Media Group and publishes the monthly Journal newspapers in South Snohomish and North King counties.
