Federal immigration goons use their vehicles to confront a crowd of demonstrators protesting ICE in Tacoma, in what eyewitnesses say was an attempt by the suspected Feds to intimidate them. You can see the crowd stand their ground, and the goons drive off.

This story is nuts. It's always infuriating to read about horrible bosses like this especially when there are so few journalism jobs left.

Several years ago, I was told the Times was considering ending their coverage in part because the sports editor felt "Sounder at Heart has cornered the market" and it struck me as the most loser attitude. I am very proud of the work we do but come the fuck on.

I can't believe a police department is claiming "budget constraints" as an issue. But I guess when you lie constantly to the public, you might as well keep doing it. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Broken clock is right: the Seattle Times endorses NO on the ridiculous attack on trans kids. WA has had policies allowing kids to play the sport they identify with for nearly 20 years. It's worked out fine. Vote NO on I-638.

If this were a “Washington problem“ it would be worth studying as a pressing issue to be resolved by the electorate, informed with science. But it is not.

Every progressive gets chased around about their relationship to Hasan Piker. Has ONE reporter ever asked JD Vance about his embrace of the insane and anti-democratic ideas of Curtis Yarvin? Or about his relationship with democracy-hater Peter Thiel? The imbalance is stark.

After 11 years as a sports columnist at the Seattle Times, I have decided to resign. It was entirely my choice, and it was not an easy one.
The impetus was the Times declining to run a column I wrote from the perspective of two female student athletes who were opposed to competing against biological males. It was one of several pieces of mine that had been spiked, and I no longer felt like I could pro Show more
