For the first time in over a year, Next Door Media has added a new neighborhood news blog to the family: Maple Leaf Life, covering the North Seattle neighborhood of Maple Leaf, from Northgate Mall down to 75th St.

The site is edited by Mai Ling Slaughter, a former Seattle PI copy editor who has since taken her talents online as a blogger for MSN Real Estate; and Mike Ullmann, a career newsman who most recently was the managing editor of the King County Journal. Both are Maple Leaf residents, and we’re excited to have them part of the network.

Welcome, Maple Leaf Life!
