This news has been out a couple of days but I'm just now getting around to posting on it: the Seattle Post-Intelligencer is for sale. The owners say they will go digital-only if a buyer is not found within 60 days. Which is highly unlikely.Photo credit: Abb

It seems like most bloggers are writing about the Seattle Post-Intelligencer in the past tense already.
