The Seattle Times engages and informs area readers with a wealth of local and international stories that have garnered eight Pulitzer Prizes since 1950, including a 2010 award for breaking-news reporting. Subscribers wake to the satisfying thud of the paper hitting their doorstep before peppering eager peepers with comics, current events, entertainment, travel and business news from the comfort of their bed or the neighbor’s azaleas. Frequent appearances by The Truth Needle column keep voters on their toes by fact-checking claims by local candidates and political movements, and insightful stories from the Puget Sound business community permeate the special Sunday Buzz section. Pacific Northwest magazine compiles recipes, wine advice, and local features, and the NWArts&Life section offers astute criticisms of fine and popular culture. Regular columns reporting on athletics, travel, and local dining destinations enrich everyday adventures, and a classifieds section assists readers in finding a job, car, or long-lost left sock.
