Extra, Extra, and an Obit for Gordon Clinton

Former Seattle Mayor Gordon Clinton, the man who founded the Seattle Human Rights Commission, and who established Seattle's first sister city (Kobe, Japan), and who is credited as being largely responsible for the construction of Seattle Center, died yesterday--but for some reason, received little fanfare. Today, the Mayor released a statement about Clinton, which was both heartfelt and slightly late.

We tip our hats to Gordon Clinton.

And now, for the headlines. Which aren't quite awesome enough to do it justice, but we work with what we've got.

In true Seattle style...the weather is terrible! And is going to stay terrible!
Speaking of things that will probably stay terrible (or at least snotty), Colton Harris-Moore is just a hop, skip, and a barefooted jump from a plea deal.
What's more terrible about this situation: that a local strip club as invited Courtney Stodden to dance for them...or that they only offered her $5,000?
And finally--a kid in Bellingham saved his mother from an attacker...with a BB gun! This is our favorite news story all day.
