Yay shoutout to The Stranger! Seattle’s ONLY newspaper!
When I moved here 6 years ago, I was familiar with Dan Savage, but not The Stranger, so I was shocked that he would be writing for a local alt-weekly… More fool I!
The stranger is by far the best alt-weekly I’ve read, and half of it isn’t even relevant to me since I don’t live in Seattle. But now I’m moving to the Seattle area, and it will be great having a paper with such good coverage of local issues and events.
