After perusing this edition, I noticed that there was not a single item regarding the City of SeaTac, my hometown. Not even a single photograph. There was a photo of a Burien businessman at the old Zoopa restaurant in Southcenter, which is in Tukwila. As a matter of fact, all the photos in the Highline Times Des Moines News SeaTac News were of Burien, except the global picture of the Des Moines Marina. Did SeaTac not exist for your end of year edition? Nothing noteworthy occured in SeaTac? Surely there were some photos of happenings in SeaTac somewhere in your archives. Like the new Waterworks at Angle Lake Park, the new Sound Transit ligthrail construction from the SeaTac airport south to S 200th St and International boulevard, the annual SeaTac International Festival and the new 4th of July Fireworks/Carnival. Our City Council has it's contentious moments, too. There was a photo of a business in Fremont included in the Ballard News-Tribune, as well as of the city of Seattle. The West Seattle Herald included a photo of a fire in White Center, fireworks over Lake Union and a scenic view of downtown Seattle's waterfront, besides photos of West Seattle happenings. Where is SeaTac???

RE: Letters to the Editor - Re: January 2, 2015 edition

Hi Geraldine,
I really do appreciate your letter. Your question is a fair one. The answer is that we have not had the staff or or the touchstones in SeaTac to provide coverage that represents the area. We operate mostly with stringers (part-time freelancers) for most news coverage. We had some covering city hall last year. She defected. I have asked a different stringer to take on coverage in this area. I promise we will notice SeaTac in 2015.

Thanks for reminding us you are there.
