Wasser's phone number is 206-441-0707.  You should also try Sakson &
Taylor, 206-632-6931.  Both are large, very successful firms that
know a great deal about the business of writing.  I have hired
writers and desktop publishers from both firms and have been quite
satisfied with the people I've gotten.

> You may want to try Wasser.  Microsoft, Boeing, and many other
 places use Wasser to hire contract writers and editors, and many
 people wind up with  permanent jobs that way.  I worked for
 Microsoft through Wasser until I moved to southeastern Washington.
 The woman who runs it is named Peg Cherrit (not sure of the
 spelling; it's pronounced Shu-RETT).

 jobs in the area -- engineering, environmental, etc.  Your grammar,
 usage, & basic writing skills better be good, though!
