Another approach to the local review services - non-profit "Consumers' Checkbook" sells a magazing subscription with peer reviews on home services for various local markets (including Seattle).
They charge $30 for a two year subscription, which gives you a quarterly(?) magazine sent to your home, and access to the online site.
But they forgo all SEO opportunities putting their site behind a subscriber-only firewall. Seems like a dumb idea to me.
