We have some exciting news over here at Altrooist HQ! We are very proudly sponsoring the King and Snohomish Spelling Bee. An odd choice for a start-up with a misspelled name? Perhaps.
This post on The Stranger’s Slog tugged at our heartstrings: Tug Tug
No spelling bee in Seattle? We couldn’t let that happen! After making a few phone calls and activating our tiny but kick-ass network of do-gooders, it was a go.
We have some fundraising plans to help our partner, Town Hall, defray some of the costs associated with this event. Seattle’s favorite podcaster is on board – Mr. TBTL himself, Luke Burbank. And, most importantly, we have you. Would you like to help out, too? Leave a comment or email us at hello (at) altrooist.com and we’ll put you to work! W-O-R-K. Work.

Just want to thank you so much for sponsoring the Regional Bee! I was the Spelling Bee chair for our local elementary school and we loved sending our top 6th grade speller to the Bee in Seattle! This year my own son won the Bee at the school and would not have had the chance to go on to the Regional Bee if it were not for you – so thank you from a mom, and a whole community!
It’s our pleasure! Good luck to your son!
