This page is a record of well-known, beloved, and/or despised staff members of Seattle and the many stories collected about them.

Residential Staff

Quentin Blanchett

Quentin Blanchet served two sessions as an RA at Seattle University (13.1-.2). He is known for his French accent and outstanding sense of humor. Every morning, he greeted his hall with the classic, "C'mon guys, time to go" in, of course, a French accent. Under his tutelage, his hall also helped establish The Final Countdown as a canon song in Seattle.

In 13.2, his floor won a contest allowing one member of each hall to pie anyone in the camp. In a surprise, the hall prompted Quentin to pie SRA Kevin.

In 2016, he was an SRA at the now defunct Palo Alto YS site.

Sofi Halpin

Sofi Halpin, like Quentin, served two sessions as an RA at Seattle (17.1-.2). She organized many somewhat popular line dancing activities and a Glee Club, which performed at the Talent Show with RA Ryan. She was known for oversleeping and forgetting her lanyard, shoes, and one of her kids in the dorms after a hasty headcount.

Her hall won Casino Night and was planning to pie RA Kendall. Sofi conveniently forgot and a pieing did not occur, but no one really cared. It should be noted that RA Kendall absolutely refused to be pied and Sofi, deciding to respect her wish, didn't let her hall choose Kendall. Her hall also was very indecisive and as a result, there was no one to pie in the first place, though Kendall was definitely the most popular choice.

Sofi caused a lot of confusion at the end of the session by claiming that she, RA Kendall, RA Owen, and RA Jacob were quadruplets. She managed to fool nearly everyone with crazy stories and explanations that were somehow believed. The "quadruplets" slipped a couple times about having other siblings and ended having to make up an older and younger sister. Sofi removed her, Kendall's, Owen's, and Jacob's nametags on the 7th floor so CTYers wouldn't notice their last names were different. She eventually restored them, but RA Kendall's was never recovered. Near the end of the session, she told her hall the quadruplet story was a hoax. RA Kendall supposedly also revealed the secret to her hall while they were in the elevator after the last dance.

Sofi and her hall were also disliked by some for singing in the hallway near or past lights out, screaming "OXYTOCIN!!" in the middle of campus (don't think of it as a pregnancy thing. DON'T.), cooking noodles in the lounge past midnight, and being crazy.
