Can a mission that began with two adventurous teenagers in the 1980s end with the discovery of a sunken gold rush fortune off the Washington coast? @bybencassidy reports. #longreads hubs.li/Q02vz5Rd0
For @SeattleMet I wrote about a modern, tech-driven rush to unearth the treasures buried deep in the waters around Seattle and the Graveyard of the Pacific. seattlemet.com/news-and-city-…
Very stoked to be publishing this feature today @SeattleMet on old shipwrecks, modern technology, and a decades-long treasure hunt finally coming to fruition in our backyard @bybencassidy seattlemet.com/news-and-city-…
I wrote another mystery story for @NatGeo nationalgeographic.com/environment/ar…
Lara Kittelson, 22, was the youngest competitor in last month's Iditarod sled dog race in Alaska. She's the first Washingtonian to finish the race since 2012. st.news/3PNFXEL
10 years ago today, I was working a weekend shift @seattletimes when word came in of a landslide near a small town named Oso. It turned out to be the deadliest landslide in U.S. history. It also became an exhibit for why local journalism matters in a time of crisis. 1/

My fevered brain has jumbled recent cultural fodder into Kara Swisher's Swans
For @NatGeo I wrote about the "little beings" that disappeared from the Pacific Northwest. nationalgeographic.com/premium/articl…
Really interesting thread, but many are conflating freelancing broadly with “making a living on journalism.” The unspoken thing here for ethical journalists is avoiding conflicts of interest.

“Everyone has been making do with nothing for years, so for this to happen, it’s like things might just come apart from here,” says @delia_cai about the culling at Condé. “You would be shocked at how few people are holding it up.” nymag.com/intelligencer/…
Something I try to impress upon friends is how many cultural items they consume are downstream of dogged local journalism. It's why we know what we know.
The full report: nps.gov/aboutus/foia/u… TLDR: The cause remains a mystery, but something called thermal runaway, which can be sparked by charging batteries, can't be ruled out.

I wrote about the history of Seattle's relationship to Boeing for @SeattleMet, with some great perspective from @margaretomara, @the_corner2, and Leonard Garfield of @MOHAI. seattlemet.com/news-and-city-…
What happened to Seattle's relationship with Boeing? The aftermath of the Alaska blowout reveals that the connection is slowly unraveling, @bybencassidy writes. hubs.li/Q02gNDky0
