As the globe turns ...

Sad news from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer today -- Tuesday is the last print edition for Seattle's oldest newspaper. After 146 proud years of operation as a preeminent voice in Northwest journalism, the P-I is packing it in as a "dead-tree" newspaper and will become an online-only voice, at seattlepi.com.
The P-I has always been must-reading at the state Capitol and its reporting staff has always been vigorous and creative in covering Under the Dome. The print version will be sorely missed here -- and we hope and trust that The Seattle Times hangs in there. We don't want Seattle to have the distinction of being the largest major city without a daily print newspaper.
The Capitol newsies and P-I alumni will hoist a few Tuesday after work -- a sort of Irish wake.
