[Tweeters] Contact info for eBird hotspot editor for Seattle area?

Hi all!

I have a friend who goes birding in Union Bay pretty frequently.

He makes a separate checklist for when he's birding Yesler Swamp versus the
rest of Union Bay.

However, whenever he's tried to make checklists for Yesler Swamp, they kept
getting merged into the larger Union Bay hotspot, which isn't what he
wants. (And I think this makes sense—Yesler Swamp is distinct enough that
it probably makes sense to be its own hotspot/location.)

In response, he's started making all his Yesler Swamp checklists private,
to prevent eBird editors from merging his checklists into something
unrepresentative.

He asked me if I knew who the editor/moderator was for hotspots in the
Seattle area, and if so, if I could ask them why the checklists keep
getting merged into the Union Bay hotspot, and if there's any way to avoid
that other than making his checklists private.

I don't know who that person is, but I thought that Tweeters might! Does
anyone here know who might be able to help my friend?

Thanks,

Julia Hansbrough
