How to Navigate New "Places" Section on Patch

Here are a few tips for locating local business listings on Patch.

We recently launched a new look for our local listings pages, changing the name
from "Directory" to "Places" on our navigation bar. You'll notice on our Places
page an increase in featured local listings as well as an easier way to rate and
review listings you have visited. More than 550 businesses and organizations are listed on Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Patch. You can find anything from restaurants, schools, mechanics and car care businesses, gift shops and florists.

Here are a few things to check out:

- Rate your neighborhood right from our Places page and quickly reshuffle
listings by clicking "Get More" at the top or bottom of the page.

- To rate a listing, simply click the number of stars under the business name.

- Have something to say about a listing? Write a review by clicking "review" and
going straight to the listing.

- Looking for a specific listing? You can search for a listing using our search bar
at the top of the page.

- Are you a business owner with a listing on our Places page? Claim your listing! By claiming your listing you can add more photos, edit store info and update as often as you'd like for free!

We hope you enjoy the new Places page and use it to learn more about the
community. We'd love to hear your feedback. Please e-mail Tony.Dondero@patch.com with your thoughts.
