I’m humbled to announce that, as Bruce alluded to yesterday, the Municipal League of King County gave STB its 2013 award for “Government News Reporting of the Year.” It was a complete surprise to be included in the tradition of admirable journalists who have won it in the past, like Robert Mak, Erica C. Barnett, David Postman, and West Seattle Blog.
STB is of course a labor of love by thirteen people with real day jobs. Although there are a lot of opinion pieces and short bursts we do try to break stories and provide in-depth analysis that is fair (if not always balanced), and it’s gratifying to hear that people find it to be interesting and thought-provoking. We’ll use this as motivation to keep improving, and as a vehicle to thank our readers and commenters, without whom we’d be shouting into the darkness.
The awards banquet is April 11th in downtown Seattle.
congratulations stb editors and fellow bloggers. lets keep this going.
Congratulations. And thank you for doing this. Only thing is, too bad Gary Larson has retired, and that Don Martin and Edward Gorey are dead. Some cartoons would really be great.

Very well deserved. I wish my other city of residence had something like this.
Warmest Congratulations. You folks do a terrific job of news coverage, and opinionating, as well as dexterously corralling the bloviators and blatherers when necessary.
Well done. You guys deserve it 100%. Thank you also for providing an entertaining, high-level forum for discussion.
Congrats, guys. Richly deserved.

You guys are a daily go-to. Thanks for all of your hard work!

Sorry for the tardy congrats, but it’s well past overdue.
