The P-I was my second newspaper, and a great one back in its pre-JOA days with the Times. We had some genuine curmudgeons there: Emmett Watson, Royal Brougham, Maggie Henderson, Shelby Scates, Leddie Gavin, Rick Anderson, Marge Crocker… grand people, all of them. There was nothing like bringing in a late-breaking story (typed in triplicate) and watching it move through the city room, down to composing, that block-long monster press winding to a halt so they could re-plate the page with your story on it. When the blue P-I globe moved from 6th and Wall down to the waterfront, and the Volvos and the Starbucks took over, you could see the beginning of the end — not just of the P-I, but of the Seattle I once loved.
