"Zines" showcase communities' character
SEATTLE—February 22, 2006—The neighborhoods at Othello Station,
High Point and Rainier Vista, and their surrounding communities,
are showcased in three new community zines - created by Seattle Housing Authority and
its consultant Fusionpartners. The zines showcase the neighborhoods' unique
characteristics, while attracting homebuyers to the developments'
homes for sale.

They also give prospective homebuyers the opportunity to get better
acquainted with the neighborhoods - including their dynamics and
some of the people who call Othello Station, High Point, Rainier
Vista and their surrounding communities home.
The three
different zines, one each for Othello Station, High Point and Rainier
Vista, are about 50 pages long and are full of graphics and upbeat,
lively stories. The stories tell about the people who live in the
communities, the best places to eat, the closest
parks and art galleries and information about the areas'
merchants and their businesses. |

All of the zines have been distributed
around their respective neighborhoods in local stores and
businesses, where they are available free of charge. They are also
available in the redevelopment sites in bright yellow newspaper
boxes. The
zines have been well-received by the communities and prospective
residents. This month, the Othello Station zine won a Totem Award
for excellence in public relations from the Puget Sound Chapter of
the Public Relations Society of America.
