Here’s Satterberg’s bio:

King County Prosecuting Attorney Dan Satterberg, 50, was elected King County Prosecuting Attorney in November 2007 to succeed his longtime friend and mentor, the late Norm Maleng.

Dan served as Chief of Staff for Norm Maleng for 17 years, and was responsible for the management and operation of the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, including budget, human resources, technology, legislative and policy matters. The Prosecuting Attorney’s Office employs more than 210 attorneys, 230 staff, and has a budget of over $55 million.

Before 1990, Dan was a trial attorney in the Criminal Division, where he spent rotations in the Special Assault Unit, Drug Unit, and served as the office’s first gang prosecutor in 1988.

Dan was born and raised in South King County and attended Highline High School. His father was a lawyer in White Center and his mother was a nursing instructor at Highline Community College. He graduated from the UW undergraduate school (Political Science and Journalism) and the UW Law School, where he met his wife Linda, a corporate lawyer.

They live in Normandy Park with their two children, ages 18 and 14. Dan’s hobbies include his rock band, “The Approximations” where he plays bass and sings, hiking, running, and traveling with his family.

Presentation by King County Prosecuting Attorney Dan Satterberg: CSI: King County: “How prosecutors use forensic science tools to find the truth and convict the guilty.”

On January 6th, 2011, King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg would like to share some good news with the members of the Burien/White Center Rotary. Prosecutors use many types of evidence to prove their cases in court. Often times the most powerful evidence comes from science. Join Dan as he discusses the many ways in which forensic evidence leads to the finding of truth in the courtroom in King County.

Dan will be speaking at Angelo’s Italian Restaurant in Burien at 12:00pm on January 6th. Angelo’s is located at 601 SW 153rd Street, Burien.

B-Town Blog Sales Guy/Host Bart Bryan needs a Date for the Rotary Club of Burien/White Center’s Rockin’ Valentines Dinner and Dance, which will be held Saturday, Feb. 13th at South Seattle Community College.

Bart’s lucky date will enjoy cocktails, dinner, a live auction, raffle prizes and dancing to two different bands – all on the house!

To add to the romance, there will also be corsages, boutinnieres, and chocolates available for Bart to buy you (just make sure Bart gets a receipt so he can be reimbursed by the BTB!).

Here’s the dinner menu:

Last summer, Bart emceed the Big Brothers Big Sisters Big Plane Pull (photo by Lucas Westcoat).

And if having a nice dinner out isn’t enough enticement to have a date with Bart, how’s about dancing to The West Coast Swing (crooning sounds of Frank Sinatra and fellow Rat-Packers) followed by local Jazz/Rock band Uncle Ernies?

Our single friend Bart is 50-years young, blue-eyed, still has most of his hair, with a sparkling personality and great sense of humor. He’s also pretty fit (fit enough to do a polar bear plunge – see the video below!). Bart confesses that he can also still “bust a move” on the dance floor, and is “looking for a fun date for a great romantic dinner dance for a great cause!”

If you’re interested in winning a free date night with this Bart-o-licious man at the Rotary’s Rockin’ Valentines Dinner and Dance, and you’re over 21 and not old enough to be Bart’s mother, email us with a recent picture, a short bio and why you want to be Bart’s date by 5pm Wed. Feb. 10th.

Our Readers will choose the winner via an online poll, so make sure your entry is good, and that you include an interesting photo and a fun, short bio.

In addition to a night of dining and dancing with Bart, the winner will receive another night out at at The Mark  Restaurant courtesy of the Mark’s Debra George.
