Every year, you nominate people to be crowned Seattle’s sexiest bakers, musicians, museum guards, actresses, small-business owners, engineers, Value Village employees, etc., by taking photos of them and uploading them to The Stranger‘s flickr pool. We then subject the photos to a rigorous and proprietary sexiness-quotient test, determining who among them are the hottest of them all. In our annual Valentine’s Day Issue, we publish the winners. Here are Seattle’s sexiest citizens for 2009!

The Democratically Elected Sexiest Seattleites
Comments are closed.

Good picks. That baker man made my jaw drop.
No wonder so many people leave Seattle to find the real thing.
I’ve never commented first before, and the overwhelming sexiness of seattle has put me at a loss for words…
I heart #5
whoops…not first
hi galen. *blush* gay? bi? please?
Where’s the sexiest drummer in Seattle?
I’ll tell ‘ya where…
King Cobra Friday the 13th!!!
DEATHBED REPENTANCE
I could of sworn… sexy fell into seattle for all time.
….That’s IT ??
WTF? Seattle’s most mediocre?
wow! this is some good stuff. Is this what real people in seattle look like? Or is this how the stranger catalogues sexy. Keep on keeping on Hipsters.
WTF? Seattle’s most mediocre?
How white can you get? (‘cept for the one black guy..)
Anyone who thinks those people weren’t sexy needs to stop beating off to airbrushed, anorexic super models.
These people are sexy, yes.
um. yeah. too hipster-y for me.
sigh. everyone but the black man with the gorgeous smile is WAY TOO YOUNG for me.
Or maybe, I’m just too old to be reading the stranger for the definition of sexy.
boo! hiss! weak sauce!
hipsters shouldn’t pick these kind of lists. go hang yourselves with those white belts!
What a bunch of mingers and douche-nozzles.
pat– word.
Sweet baby jesus…is that the BEST this city can do? No wonder I moved to New England 8 years ago, and no wonder I decided I wasn’t staying when I moved back here in December.
Where’s the sexiest rugby player on a gay rugby team?
*ahem*
Wow! The comments here are really mean-spirited. Slog contributers take themselves very seriously, don’t they? Okay, maybe they’re not the SEXIEST in Seattle, but most of them are pretty damn hot if you ask me. And do any of you actually ever agree with the Stranger’s self-indulgence?
With the acception of 8, and maybe 7 and 4 (if he was a little taller).
They are so fucking androgenous!
Then again, what do you expect from Capital Hill …
Sorry for my mislexia “exception” not “acception”
Perhaps they have nice faces … but damn … I guess none of them blue colar and sturdy enough for my admiration. Just too hipster …
douchey hipster fugly Seattleites with no taste
seattle = ugly fat people in sweatpants
Dang, only ten? Pshaw.
how could the coffee shop owner not know who nominated him? Obviously he posed for a picture. I’m confused.
This was more disappointing than looking up the word disappointing in the dictionary.
Seattle = ugly fat people in sweat pants
To be fair, they aren’t fat. They are smoked/starved thin and look IDENTICAL FROM THE BACK SIDE!
Seriously Seattle! What the hell is up with FLAT BUT FEASABLE IF FEMALE ASS that ubiquitious in the Seattle population? It’s totally androgenous!
Oooooh are all those delicious mens gay homos? Cuz I want to buttfuck them! I wanna put my weewee in their doodoo holes!
MMMMMMMmmmmmm delicious gay doodoo holes to stick my weenus into so it will spurt cum!
All of you are beautiful, even the ones who didn’t get nominated. That engineer though, boy, even a lesbian like me gets turned on by that! Yeah, ba-beeeeeeeeee, why are you wearing shirts at all???!!!
boring people, lame list submitted by their psycho boy/girl/dogfriends. FAIL
Cum on my gay poopoo! Cum right on my big steaming pile of homo doodoo! Then stick your cock into my dick hole! It’s gay!
#5 was jaw-droppingly hot. She has a lucky girlfriend.
God Bless the Stranger and Seattleites in general for seeing sexy in non-traditional places. Gay, straight, whatever, those are some beautiful people right there, and it makes me proud to live here.
Seattle isn’t a Guido town. It’s always had androgynous tendencies, but even beautiful androgyny isn’t seen here, much less diversity. Seattle is white, but not this white.
If you do any traveling at all – say NYC, Madrid, Milan – then you understand what a sad list this is. No offense to the people therein – keep on being cute! – but sexiest in ALL Seattle? Tsk tsk tsk…
what would the stranger do if capitol hill ceased to exist? so would the stranger..
Engineering nerdiness never looked so good!
sweats are not clothes – I LOVE YOU.
god bless the stranger for stealing other peoples photos from the ‘flicker pool’ then calling it their own. God bless the stranger for taking hot tips and plagiarizing other peoples articles then calling it their own as hell.
god bless the stranger drone that posted the above fake comment
Hellooo there #1 ๐
What’s the fastest way to Seattle from NY??
I have to say I’m really disappointed in the comments here.
Are the hateful comments coming from people who are jealous they didn’t make the cut? Or are they from people who would never stand a chance with these hotties?
Our society has an unrealistic idea of what constitutes beauty. I think the people on this list are gorgeous, because they are not only easy on the eyes, but I have no doubt they are amazing, wonderful, and all around awesome people.
And by the way, who the fuck do some of you think you are? Why is it necessary to for you to judge these people? Are you that incomplete/inadequate/inept?
For the heterosexist assholes– kill yourself. Our planet would be a better place without you.
Bike clothes are never sexy. But I guess in his defense he’s a competitive athlete and not just some middle aged tech dweeb riding to Microsoft on the Burke Gilman.
#1 and #3 are really pretty.
“You are just riding to work! You can wear jeans for that.”
A-FUCKING-MEN!!! That shit drives me nuts. I always figured that it must take an excessive amount of self-importance and distorted self-image to get up every morning and put on bike shorts and then have the delusional awareness to put on a fucking shirt that has “sponsors” on it. What in the hell is that?! Fuck!
Mmmmm…Number 10 looks like a really hot butch girl.
Here’s the problem: no chicks over 30. But then, isn’t that always the problem?
I think these Seattle-ites are sexy and those who disagree are welcome to trade me places…maybe the OC is more your speed!
