One of our local papers found out about us and decided to run an article about our hobby. They interviewed a few of us and sent a photographer out to our labor day battle.
The result was a decent enough little article in the paper, that was reprinted in atleast one other major local paper (The Seattle Times) and carried by a large number of other papers atleast on the online sites. I won't link to all the locations, but here is the original set:
The News Tribune article
The News Tribune Photo gallery
How much this will do for us, I don't know. In the 24 hours after the article was published we received over 600 unique hits on our website, several mailing list subscriptions and a few people contacting me expressing interest of some kind or another on the contact page. If nothing else it has raised some local awareness of our hobby.
