Why I Moved Away From Seattle-Focused Coverage

By David Packman

I read an article from the Seattle Weekly this morning that was so incredibly frustrating that it solidified why I shouldn't cover Seattle issues anymore...

These people have no idea that this site exists, none... makes me wonder what kind of research they did into this piece, because if they did they would have found that I speak to exactly the same issues they brought up... In fact most of what they said could have been lifted straight from this site given how many of those same issues I've brought up!

In fact, they quote the civilian oversight police auditor in Seattle as saying that nobody reads her reports when I cite, link, and use them extensively in some of my reporting... Damn, even the auditor doesn't count this site even though I cite her constantly... Hell, I even interviewed the guy that's replacing her!

A year and a half of working on the police misconduct issues in this town... and it was all a gigantic waste of time and effort.
