What did happen today is reminiscent of the last episode in a given season of The Wire: loose ends are being tied down, and the seeds for the next chapter are being sown. We begin...

Seattlest: Nearing The Denouement
From Seattlest's Flickr Pool: "Rainier Red sm" by Icanseemyhousefromhere. Perhaps you've heard the whispers, perhaps not; in any scenario, the time has come for us to confirm the rumors: As of 4:00p.m. Saturday December 31st, 2011, the Seattlest will be going on indefinite hiatus.

Extra Extra: Boxing Day Edition
From Seattlest's Flickr Pool: "Tourist Shot" by G Stonebraker. Not much tends to happen during the week between Christmas Day and New Year's Eve, almost as if the news felt as non-committal to the last week of the year as the rest of us do. "Oh, do something? Meh, all right." And so it goes about its business, popping out the occasional solid story and then going about looking busy with a sheaf of...
