Seattle
Creators to Watch
The creators our neighbors actually follow.
Magpie's editors picked 40 creators across Seattle who are worth a local business's attention: people who live here, post for their neighbors, and show up week after week. Rooted here counts for more than follower count, so you will find creators with a thousand followers on the same list as creators with hundreds of thousands.

How we picked them
Rooted here beats big here
Three things to know before you read the list.
/ 01
Rooted here
Every creator on this list lives their beat here: their neighborhoods, their restaurants, their teams, their weekends. The content is made in Seattle, for Seattle.
/ 02
Local audience over follower count
What a local business is really reaching is nearby people who can walk in. A smaller creator whose crowd is here can be worth more than a giant whose crowd is everywhere else, so follower count never decided who made this list. The list below is grouped by what they do, not ranked by size: a creator with 900 neighbors who all live here matters more on this list than a million followers somewhere else.
/ 03
Checked by hand
Every name was verified from public profiles: a real person, based here in Seattle, posting recently and consistently. If a creator goes quiet or moves away, they come off the list.
