Signing off for a rest

A few months ago, when we celebrated the three year anniversary of the Official Blog, I announced that I intended to take some time off to pursue other projects:
I will be quitting the blog entirely so I can better focus on other endeavors for NPI. (Also, I could use some rest). That means I won't be doing any posting.

It'll be an indefinite break (meaning I don't know how long it'll last) - but temporary - I promise I'll be back at some point.
I first planned on starting that break immediately, but circumstances changed and I ended up postponing it several times, continuing to post infrequently instead of stopping altogether to focus on the other projects I wanted to work on.

However, I feel the time is ripe to follow through and I have rescheduled my planned absence from the blog to begin this week (Saturday, to be more specific). I’ll be back in a month or so from now, maybe a little earlier.

However, I’m not the only one who will be signing off. Our hardworking Media & Communications Director, who most of our readers know simply as stilwell, will be temporarily gone as well – starting tomorrow - to enjoy a much deserved vacation with his family. After all, that’s what summer is for.

The two of us may be taking an opportunity to rest, but the blog itself won’t be going on hiatus. We’re confident that our team of contributors will do a fine job stepping up and keeping the commentary and analysis coming.

In addition, we’re pleased to welcome Seattle Port Commissioner Alec Fisken to the Official Blog. He’ll be guest posting occasionally in the weeks ahead about the issues and challenges facing the Port as well as his reelection campaign. We’re delighted to have him aboard, and we hope you are too.

Have a safe, fun, and happy July. We’ll see you soon.
