Seattleauto.net Adds a Former Seattle PI Reporter to the Team

Dave Andriesen goes from covering the Seattle Mariners to covering the Seattle auto industry.

Issaquah, WA, April 09, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Seattleauto.net, the premiere website dedicated to strictly the Seattle auto industry, is proud to announce the addition of former Seattle Post-Intelligencer reporter Dave Andriesen as a contributing writer. He brings over a decade of writing expertise to the local auto portal, and after numerous seasons of covering the Seattle Mariners, this new chapter in his career will be a refreshing change.

“What attracted me to seattleauto.net is that it's a destination for regular people who want news they can use,” says Andriesen. “The site covers everyday aspects of being a car owner. How to find the best cars, how to get the best deals and making the most of the driving experience, are all topics we’ll cover. This site is a tool for every kind of car owner, from the serious enthusiast to someone who can barely parallel park.”

“Dave is a perfect fit for us,” explains Cameron Wong, managing partner for Seattleauto.net. “He’s extremely creative and talented. His writing style along with his professionalism will add depth and quality in our overall auto coverage. When he became available, we saw it as an opportunity for not only Seattleauto, but for Dave as well.”

Andriesen was one of over a hundred people to lose their jobs when the Seattle PI decided to eliminate print production to go exclusively online. While newspapers across the nation have downsized and eliminated jobs, Seattleauto.net has witnessed rapid growth.

“We grew a lot faster than we thought,” says Wong. “Being that seattleauto.net is unique and one of a kind, our stats and numbers have nearly doubled from our first to second quarter. That’s why we need talented people like Dave, to provide another view for our readers.”

“Like baseball, cars are an important part of the American story,” says Andriesen.

“Like baseball, the world of automobiles is one with an unlimited number of stories. I hope to introduce readers of seattleauto.net to some interesting ones.”

Seattleauto.net was jointly created by former Fox Sports Northwest anchor/reporter Cameron Wong. Despite launching in the fall of 2008, in less than six months Seattleauto.net is a PR4 on Google and ranks first page for search terms ‘Seattle auto’ and ‘Seattle auto insurance.’ It has quickly become is a destination site for local car owners to share ideas and thoughts while giving them a voice in a crowded market. Adding a seasoned writer like Andreisen will enrich the content and benefit the readers. He and other former PI writers can soon be found on the pages of Seattleauto.net starting in April.
