With the recent news of Ken Griffey Jr retiring, I was on the hunt for a Seattle Times newspaper. Why a Seattle Times you ask? Well, because the Orgonian apparently didn't think he was as important as all the police shootings, the Benson-Jefferson school protest, or who Sam Adam's is kissing.
Joel and I called all the typical places we thought might sell an out-of-state paper. I even walked around almost all of downtown Portland looking for a news stand or recepticle I could buy a Seattle Times from. I asked one of my co-workers and she called a few place as well.
Her last call was to the Oregonian, the Portland newspaper and asked them if they had a paper stand with other newspaper, specifically the Seattle Times. They said that the Seattle Times was their competition.
Last time I checked Seattle was in Washington and Portland was in Oregon...two different states. I am pretty sure that Seattle has enough surrounding cities to report news on, they don't need to report on news from Portland. That is the most ridiculous thing I think I have ever heard.
I wish I had been the one on the phone.
