Reporter Article

Hi everyone,

Read about us in the Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter, in the issue that just came out today!
http://www.pnwlocalnews.com/east_king/iss-s/lifestyle/25834959.html

We've noticed a trend in the poll on our page - many of you plan to send in secrets sooner or later, which is great, but the sooner the better! We really want to have the opportunity to compile the postcards we recieve by this fall at the latest, so please try to get them in this coming month. Of course, this is an ongoing project, but we would love to see more of your cards this summer.

Thanks so much! Remember to send in your postcards to the address stated at the top of the page.

Summer Nights at the Park & Concerts on the Green

2008-07-11T17:58:00.001-07:00

Thank you to everyone who shared a secret with Plateau PostSecret yesterday evening at Pine Lake Park's first Nights at the Park concert event. We will likely be at many of the concerts this summer and we appreciate your support!

The events begin at 5 PM every Thursday night this summer, so we hope to see you there with your friends and family. We will continue to have materials available for you to create your postcards and boxes for you to place them in. We also plan on frequenting Issaquah Community Center's Concerts on the Green events, which start at 7 PM every Tuesday night.

In the meantime, please keep sending in secrets to the P.O. Box in Issaquah! Thanks so much!

New postcards!

Hello!
Since school is out, we have had much more time to work on the project. Self-addressed postcards are now printed and will be officially distributed for the first time ever in the next week or so. If you plan on attending Highlands Day in the Issaquah Highlands on the 28th, we plan on being there. In the future, we'll be getting the word out about the project by advertising it at local venues. For now, look for our postcards/fliers, send in your secrets (and then tell us you did so in our poll, so we know to go check the P.O. Box), and please spread the word! The goal is to have enough feedback from the community to create a book by the end of the summer. Thanks for your support everyone and enjoy the nice weather!

Dear Plateau,

2008-06-15T20:35:00.001-07:00

Please feel free to send in secrets as soon as you can! We are trying to get this project going and now that school is almost out we are going to more than ever.

Thanks for your input!

Launched!

PostSecret is coming to the Plateau area!

Please be ANONYMOUS and send your postcards to:
P.O. Box 1068
Issaquah, WA 98027-0041

What is PostSecret?
PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard.

It all began in November 2004 when Frank Warren, from Maryland, printed out 3000 postcards and began handing them to strangers and leaving them in public places.

Each postcard told the reader:
"SHARE A SECRET. You are invited to anonymously contribute a secret to a group art project. Your secret can be a regret, fear, betrayal, desire, confession or a childhood humiliation. Reveal anything - as long as it is true and you have never shared it with anyone before. Create your 4-by-6-inch postcards out of any mailable material. If you want to share two or more secrets, use multiple postcards. Put your complete secret and image on one side of the postcard."

Since 2004, this unique project has grown internationally. We are now bringing PostSecret directly to the Plateau (areas surrounding it include Sammamish, Issaquah, Bellevue, etc.).

To send a postcard in, you can create your own. Pre-addressed blank postcards will be distributed to the public (mainly local schools) soon, and hopefully by the beginning of June.

Tips from Frank Warren, the original PostSecret creator:
Be brief (the fewer words used the better)
Be legible (use big, clear and bold lettering)
Be creative (let the postcard be your canvas)

If enough postcards are recieved, they may be posted at this website (similar to Frank's weekly Sunday Secrets) and/or compiled in a small book, so you'll be able to see what other people in the community have said.

Spread the word! Tell all of your friends - young and old - and start anonymously sending in secrets! For more information or simply inspiration, feel free to visit the original www.postsecret.com website or check out one of Frank's published books (available online or at local bookstores)! Thanks!
