Start off this morning with a tip o' the hat to West Seattle Blog, which was named West Seattle's Business of the Year. We've known the business half of the team almost 40 years now (!), the editorial half 25, and the junior member (who takes pictures and does web graphics) about 14 ('cause that's how old he is!). They are not only close friends, but mentors in that they continue to break new ground in the new wave of neighborhood news, are the best in the world at what they do, and continue to inspire us in our work. Congratulations!
