Is Seattle About to Become a No-Newspaper Town?

Admittedly, this isn't the first time such a notion has been floated, but when an ex-Times reporter (and a great one at that) floats it, then the floater's worth noting. Writes Glenn Nelson, who used to cover the Sonics for Fairview Fanny: "It's also not entirely surprising that Seattle could fall so quickly from one of the country's few two-newspaper cities to one of its first no-newspaper cities. It is, after all, one of the most wired cities in the U.S., the home of Microsoft, Amazon and Starbucks. I mention Starbucks because it is the place one gets wired (on caffeine) and wireless (Internet connections, that is). Question is: Once the domino tumbles in Seattle, how quickly will others then fall?"
