We wrote thousands of words about the most influential people in Seattle this year. In pages devoted to the most essential elements of our city, we aimed to capture the effect that everyone from a governor to a bus operator has had on our local culture.

But we get it. Sometimes, like kids scanning class rosters for their friends, we just want to see who's on the list.
