Seattle Post-Intelligencer publishes final edition

I was in Seattle this week and picked up a copy of final edition of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer - a paper that could trace its history back to 1863. They had a nice commemorative section that reviewed Seattle sports history. No mention of either Longacres or Emerald Downs. Rather shameful considering that Longacres' opening in 1933 after being constructed in 28 days was a huge event and the track was and its successor is an integral part of the community - more so thankfully than the money-draining, now online-only Post-Intelligencer.
