The Top Seattle Twitter Feeds
Despite its early days as simply a micro-blogging platform, recent growth has helped to transform Twitter into an insanely popular communications tool, from which you can learn a lot more than what your old college buddy in South Carolina had for breakfast. Within larger cities especially, there's been a tremendous surge in businesses and services looking to connect with their audience and customer base in an entirely new way. In this guide I've assembled the top picks for those in the Seattle Metro area; be sure to check back often, because as the amount of Seattle users on Twitter grows, you can certainly expect that the contents of this guide will as well.

Monica Guzman was the first online writer for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, which switched over to an online-only format in 2008. She’s obviously a news and culture junkie, and combines this love with her passion for staying connected to her readers. As far as I’m concerned, she’s like a gateway drug to the Seattle social media scene.

Say what you will about their business model or product, but this Seattle-based coffee giant knows how to use Twitter to connect with their customers. Despite having close to 200K followers, @starbucks isn’t just about product and contest information; this account tweets its ass off with @replies to those with questions/comments.

The 188-acre Woodland Park Zoo features 1,145 different animals that include 290 different species from all over the world, including elephants, giraffes, rainforest animals, and the increasingly rare Jaguar. The zoo takes up approximately one half of Woodland Park in the Fremont area, just north of Green Lake. One of the zoo’s more popular exhibits is the recently constructed primate exhibit that takes visitors along a meandering pathway that leads them through the habitats of gorillas, chimps, and orangutans.
