3-Time Emmy Winning Writer for "Bill Nye" Creates B-TownBlog.com, Local Blog For Burien, WA

Feb. 5, 2008 - PRLog -- Scott Schaefer, three-time National Emmy Award winning Writer for “Bill Nye the Science Guy,” the popular PBS/Disney children’s educational TV series, is throwing his proverbial creative hat into full-time internet ventures, with his first locally-driven community blog for his neighborhood in Burien, WA.

The B-Town (Burien) Blog (http://www.b-townblog.com) will be updated regularly, and will serve as the main online source for all things Burien-related, including:

- News
- Events
- History
- People
- Mysteries
- Photos
- Videos
- Webcams
- Forums
and much more

“I like to think globally, yet drink and eat locally, and one weekend I was searching for things to do in my neighborhood online. To my utter astonishment, there wasn’t one regularly-updated website with listings for restaurants, bars, events or anything else for that matter,” Schaefer said from his home office. “Even the local newspaper has failed to fully grasp the power of the internet. Today’s always-on broadband audience gets most of its information from the internet, so I saw a need and filled it, and now this thriving community has its own website.”

The B-Town Blog has already done stories and listings on local businesses, like Dan the Sausageman, The Tin Room Bar, 909 Wine and Coffee, wine tasting/stage plays at E.B. Foote Winery and much more. Schaefer is now going door-to-door to businesses around town, introducing himself and making connections.

Schaefer’s goal with the B-Town Blog is to eventually turn it into a full-time business, but right now it’s all about getting the word out, finding people to contribute stories, getting event listings from local bars and restaurants, and building up a solid audience.

Burien is an incorporated suburb just south of Seattle, Washington, with a population of 31,881 (2000 census). It is located 4 miles west of SeaTac International Airport and is bordered on the west by Puget Sound.
