Interesting article....

While Seattle does tend to have a somewhat more organized poly community, I'm not sure I buy into the idea of it being a poly "hotbed" though. Still, interesting article.

Seattle-based "Family" webisodes no ordinary sexy sitcom

"It's not hard to picture this on prime-time TV: a sitcom called "Family" about a woman and two dudes shacking up in a polyamorous relationship.

In fact, independent Seattle filmmaker Terisa Greenan's short, biweekly YouTube "Family" webisodes — seven and counting — have drawn the Kinsey Institute's attention as a sort of landmark on the subject and put a spotlight on this area as one of the nation's, uh, hotbeds of the lifestyle.

Don't think key-swappin' swinger parties or polygamy. Polyamorists say it's about committed (though often open) relationships with multiple partners (of whichever sex) and less about hooking up.

"They always say use something that you know about, right?" said Greenan, an actress who has appeared in commercials for Value Village and Coldwell Banker, done voice work in the "Star Trek: First Contact" video game and appeared in independent flicks and local theater."

Actually, I do think we're a hotbed, after all look at the whole coincidence of having a parent at Miss Bits school be poly as well.
