Pacific Northwest Portal Wins Best of Seattle Award
Congratulations are in order to everyone who voted in the Seattle Weekly's "Best of Seattle" contest:
Best Local Web Site
When Seattleites are feeling, well, blue, they visit PACIFIC NORTHWEST PORTAL for regional news for progressives. You can also find links to political blogs and newsgroups — and drinking buddies for whenever Dubya next chooses to open his mouth. www.nwprogressive.org/portal.
We also won in other categories we campaiged for:
Best Local Blog
Your favorite Seattle-based blog is the one that gives "the straight poop on Washington politics and the press": David Goldstein's HORSESASS.ORG (see Best Activist/ Hell-Raiser). Sharing his liberal views on local politics and personalities, Goldy makes sure blue Seattleites have something to cheer or sneer about.
Best Activist/Hell-Raiser
Web pundit DAVID GOLDSTEIN made a name for himself as a staunch opponent of local initiative-monger Tim Eyman; that's also the campaign that inspired the name of his blog, HorsesAss.org (see Best Local Blog). Nowadays, Goldstein comments on anything and everything, including the recent Enumclaw horse-sex scandal. This is his second consecutive win in this category, so he gets to be the city's best smart-ass for another year. www.horsesass.org.
Best Local Cause
Maybe in the next few years, Seattle can figure out a way to END HOMELESSNESS. For now, the city's shelters, missions, and Tent City settlements will have to suffice. Another local cause on your minds: that damn monorail.
Best Fish Market
Yep, PIKE PLACE MARKET again, beating out second-placed . . . Tim Eyman? Anyhow, we're glad Pike Place won; who wouldn't want to purchase their feisty fish from the freshest of all franchises to take home to their fairest, finest, and most fabulous frying pan? First Avenue and Pike Street, 206-774-5249, www.pikeplacemarket.com.
Yeah...I wonder how Eyman came in second for fish market?
