Gracious Seattlest readers! It is with a heavy etc.! Hey, today is my last day as editor of Seattlest. I started writing for this site back in May 2005, and just three years later had worked my way up to the tippy top. And you can, too! I'll show you how with a booklet that costs only $29.95! No, but I kid. It's been an enormous amount of fun and excitement chronicling Seattle--with many terrific writers--over those years, and hearing from you in the comments section.

Thank you, as always, for reading Seattlest. more ›
