The Seattle Post Intelligencer went under this year. It had been a mainstay of the suburbs with the goings on of the towns and their teams as well as national and state news. It is now gone. The Seattle Times once one of the largest papers in the country is in trouble. They are giving away the daily to keep up the circulation numbers so they don't have to adjust their advertizing rates. My town of 35,000 has a little local weekly paper and it is is staying afloat but from what I read daily papers are in trouble all over the country. With the internet print media is slowly dieing.
