How Seattle is exporting its poor people

Posted Fri, Nov 12, 10:56 p.m.

The author clearly doesn't understand the unique socioeconomic characteristics of this region. Exporting its poor people? Hardly.

There are numerous immigrant neighborhoods scattered nearby. Federal Way, SeaTac, many areas of Burien, Tukwila, ...

A move by Hearst raises new questions about pi.com's future

Posted Tue, Jun 15, 11:33 a.m.

Moderated comments make it easier to have an intelligent conversation instead of flame wars. Furthermore, I don't see ...
