I am Bruce Englehardt, board member of the Cascadia Wikimedians User Group. I primarily edit articles about the Puget Sound region and Washington, with an emphasis on transportation and the built environment. My username is a reference to the Seattle Sounders (soccer team) and the Sounder (commuter train).
I'm also an amateur photographer, again focusing on transportation and buildings in the Puget Sound region, with my trusty Canon EOS Rebel T6. My photos can be seen on my Flickr account, my SkyscraperCity showcase, and my AARoads Forum thread.
I was a volunteer contributor to Seattle Transit Blog, and was formerly paid writer and photographer for SkyriseCities.com. Since 2025, I have a declared conflict of interest with HistoryLink that does not includes paid editing.

Thanks for your efforts to keep the Alaskan Way Tunnel articles up to date. Topics with so many twists and bumps in the road often fall out of date without constant care. Good work! Dennis Bratland (talk) 03:10, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

Article alerts at WikiProject Seattle displays 12 articles nominated for good article status, all of them expanded by you. This is exactly the definition of a tireless contributor, so a barnstar seems appropriate. Keep up the great work, Bruce! --Another Believer(Talk) 23:20, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
Thanks so much for your ongoing and impressive work on a variety of articles, but especially transit-related ones such as the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel and its stations. The quality of your research and editing is far superior to that seen in most transit-related articles on Wikipedia. Great work! SJ Morg (talk) 11:22, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

Hey, I just wanted to thank you for doing such a great job with the FC Cincinnati stadium article, as well as congratulate you on the well-earned DYK. In particular, the Planning section is fantastic—you've done an excellent job of taking what has felt like (at least for us here in Cincy) an endless process, and condensing it into just a few concise paragraphs (not to mention the nice map). Great work and congrats! –IagoQnsi (talk) 03:03, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

It's my pleasure to bestow on you this award for your more than 50 contributions to the "Did you know?" section. Your DYK entries have covered a variety of subjects and have variously originated from articles you created, ones you expanded, and ones you brought up to Good article class – an impressive breadth of contribution to the encyclopedia. Thanks for helping make Wikipedia great! SJ Morg (talk) 08:43, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
Thank you for your steady stream of interesting articles about Seattle and Washington state! This award is overdue, but your contribution is greatly appreciated. Yoninah (talk) 14:31, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
It seems that you have written 200 Did You Knows and no one has noticed your 200 articles. That can never be the case, thousands of people will have seen your DYKs and thousands will have read your work, seen your photos and know just a bit more about Cascadia and other stuff. You have improved the front page, the DYK project, and to top it all, helped to build an amazing free educational resource. So thanks - people do notice. Victuallers (talk) 11:17, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

This editor has displayed continuous and impressive effort in improving and creating articles related to Washington state. Recent contributions include 2020 Seattle Sounders FC season, List of Seattle Mariners seasons, and MLS Cup 2019. In addition to having nearly 200 good articles, which is the 16th most of any editor, they have over 240 DYKs, 20 featured articles, and 11 featured lists, a very large portion of which are related to Washington state or entities within the state. Their quality contributions are just fantastic and the content work is impressive, needed, and valuable.
