Over the last few months, I’ve heard many predictions of an “imminent” decision coming from the Washington State Supreme Court on gay marriage. None has proven true. But just to keep you on the edge of your seat, here’s another authoritative-sounding prediction, this one from the P-I’s Chris McGann:

The state Supreme Court is expected to issue a decision on gay marriage sometime late this summer or in early fall.

At least this prediction sounds well-informed (or, as well-informed as you can be about a decision date that’s entirely at the whim of the justices). It’s in line with what we’ve been hearing from lawyers involved with the case. But then again, they’re just guessing.

My money’s still on October. For no particular reason. I’m guessing too. (And obsessively checking the court’s site, where they post an ‘upcoming decisions’ notice every Wednesday.)
