SEATTLE, June 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Seattle residents can get a head start on planning for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver by turning to the 2009 Dex(R) Yellow Pages. The new directories - currently being delivered - contain a special section dedicated to helping Seattleites prepare for the Games.

The Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games will take place Feb. 12 - 28, 2010 at venues throughout the Vancouver area. To help fans prepare, Dex is providing a wealth of information, including:

• Detailed maps on where to find the correct venues for all of the events taking place around the city;
• Information on how to get into Canada and to Vancouver;

"Seattle is only a little over 130 miles from Vancouver, and we anticipate that many residents will be looking for information on the Games, which we're proud to be able to provide," said Nancy Smith, regional marketing manager, Dex. "In addition to this special section, residents can, of course, find information on thousands of local businesses, not only in our print directories but our other search solutions as well."
