This was an interesting proposal - does anyone have any good stories from
Snohomish County?

Subject: Seeking story ideas for New York Times article

Greetings Preservationists,

We have once again been asked by our friends at the *New York Times* to help
with an upcoming article - and we are seeking your help!  Below is an
overview of the article, as well as contact information for the reporter.
Deadlines are always tight, and it would be ideal to send your story ideas
for consideration this week or early next week.

Here is the article overview:
"I'm working on a story for the *New York Times* on people who have been
left or bequeathed a property that they just don't know what to do with,
specifically an odd structure -- like a windmill or a warehouse or
compound-- or a building that is in disrepair or just oddball, but you can't
bear to part with it. Preferably you live in the structure or house, but it
can also be a place that you haven't yet decided what to do with. I look
forward to hearing your stories."

*Contact information:* Please email Sarah.Maslin.Nir at gmail.com

For reference, Sarah was kind enough to send links to past examples of
articles featuring PreservationDirectory.com readers:

   - http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/18/garden/18houses.html
   - http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/15/garden/15alone.html

For more information, please send inquiries to Sarah at
Sarah.Maslin.Nir at gmail.com (we are happy to help, but will most likely
forward most questions directly to Sarah).

Thanks as always for your help!
