Wiley Gatesby · Seattle, United States
Every town has a courthouse and a coffee pot; Seattle is no different. These days, readers in Seattle write to the town by the dozen, and Come by the lore pages; Seattle always has a seat.
Wiley Gatesby wired McSkunkville for the future from a garage behind the Chrome Barn, then did the unthinkable: gave most of it away — wings at Stripe General, laboratories at the College, a computer on every school desk.
His foundation's charter is one sentence long: 'A cure, a classroom, and a clean record for everyone.'
He still debugs the library computers himself, on Tuesdays.
Worldwide Access — Wiley Gatesby greets readers in Seattle and 38,000 cities beyond. Full directory.
