Whatever. I can't get behind anyone who drinks Vitamin Water.

(congrats, Dom!)

I know a recently unemployed journalist blogger who would be great for the job. I think you might know him...

giffy on March 13, 2014 at 4:56 PM

He should also be promoted so SMOKIN HOT. Dayam.

alanw on March 13, 2014 at 4:57 PM

@3 has a good lead for a good lede

Will in Seattle on March 13, 2014 at 4:59 PM

If you'll just tell us what happened with Goldy, we'll stop asking.

crap bag on March 13, 2014 at 5:00 PM

Who?

MrBaker on March 13, 2014 at 5:02 PM

There's a local blogger who just posted a great analysis of the "total compensation" strategy that some employers are promoting. I'm not sure if that's the same person that @3 is referring to, but this blogger is tenacious, detail-oriented, insightful, and original. I bet he'd be an excellent hire.

Central District News just shuttered. Those staffers might be worth picking up.

wxPDX on March 13, 2014 at 5:05 PM

We can't go into details about personnel matters. But on Horse's Ass, Goldy wrote about not be employed anymore and about some stuff he couldn't write at the paper.

Dominic Holden on March 13, 2014 at 5:11 PM

Congrats, Dominic. You're the most tenacious reporter in the city and I'm glad that we'll get the benefit of more of your reporting.

politickling on March 13, 2014 at 5:22 PM

Yay, Dominic, thumbs up!

Start writing! lol

mandyv on March 13, 2014 at 5:23 PM

Well done Dominic, and well deserved.

Dr. Z on March 13, 2014 at 5:23 PM

It's cute how you all think that any competent HR person or lawyer (which I assume, possibly generously, the Stranger has at least one of) would ever let an organization say anything on the record about a terminated employee. Do none of you have actual jobs?

Doctor Memory on March 13, 2014 at 5:25 PM

Grats Dom, glad to hear it!

undead ayn rand on March 13, 2014 at 5:28 PM

Congrats Dom! Well deserved.

gnossos on March 13, 2014 at 5:29 PM

Congratulations, Dom. Though I share @1's concern about that Vitamin Water bullcrap.

Fnarf on March 13, 2014 at 5:38 PM

I had a few with you back in the day, you are a good egg.

on March 13, 2014 at 5:43 PM

Dom, How'd you like it if I came to where YOU work and congratulate you? Huh? How'd you like it if I did that?

NotSean on March 13, 2014 at 5:47 PM

This is sweet. Congrats!

NineOneFour on March 13, 2014 at 5:49 PM

Congratulations, Dominic!

You are not only an excellent writer, you are an effective writer. The Stranger is lucky to have you!

merry on March 13, 2014 at 5:49 PM

I LIKE VIATMN WATR SHH

TomJohnsonJr on March 13, 2014 at 5:49 PM

Excuse me. Congratulations!

TomJohnsonJr on March 13, 2014 at 5:50 PM

It's so cute how you (sort of) grew a moustache to complement your Big Boy job.

gator bait on March 13, 2014 at 5:53 PM

Is Dominic really that handsome? Way to go!

pat L on March 13, 2014 at 5:54 PM

William Randolph Hearst must be beaming. Congrats Dom!

raindrop on March 13, 2014 at 5:55 PM

Team VitaminWater Zero. The Lemonade flavor is the ideal.

Josh Bis on March 13, 2014 at 5:57 PM

Is Hanna an actual Stranger employee now? She's suddenly become one of the more prolific contributors of substantive SLOG posts in the past few days. If not, it would be wise to hire her for reals.

ourkind on March 13, 2014 at 6:02 PM

@28 more substance would be good.

TheMisanthrope on March 13, 2014 at 6:16 PM

And congratulations to Christopher for writing so well on this promotion topic. Congrats to whoever gets the news editor position. Congratulations to the photographer for catching Dom in such beauteous whimsy. I want to go on all night. It's so true, a tear is in my eye, It Takes a Village.

dnt trust me on March 13, 2014 at 6:17 PM

Congratulations Dominic, and best wishes.

RainMan on March 13, 2014 at 6:29 PM

Ooh, sexy guy. Good for him, he deserves it.

brandon on March 13, 2014 at 6:39 PM

Congrats, Dom. Though it sucks you had to get harassed by the cops to get the story out there.

emma's bee on March 13, 2014 at 6:52 PM

I second hiring the team behind central district news

guerre on March 13, 2014 at 7:42 PM

@4 - They should have used the picture he puts up on... certain smartphone apps.

MacCrocodile on March 13, 2014 at 7:54 PM

Congratulations! I'm down.

mizmojo on March 13, 2014 at 8:04 PM

Well, he's definitely dreamboat material. After all, he's been in my back seat. And I know a lesbian couple who dote on him even more than I do.

Congratulations, Dominic Dear. The troll is vexed, which is the best reward one can get, isn't it?

Catalina Vel-DuRay on March 13, 2014 at 8:05 PM

I trust him!

peskypoop on March 13, 2014 at 8:32 PM

Congratulations, Dominic!

Puty on March 13, 2014 at 8:36 PM

High-five or whatever celebratory thing you kids say now. They made an excellent choice and They will reap most of the financial benefits from your promotion, alas.
You are a solid writer and reporter. I don't think you are hot, though. Maybe, if I were gay?

stonato on March 13, 2014 at 8:56 PM

Congratulations. More news reporting from Slog!

I actually *shudder* was subjected to a few minutes of local broadcast news, and their reporting about the legislature was completely substanceless. No surprise, I know, but that's why we need substantial news reporting from the Slog.

LMcGuff on March 13, 2014 at 9:21 PM

Fuck the title. Give him more money.

Brooklyn Reader on March 13, 2014 at 9:24 PM

@44, hopefully that came with the title.

sarah70 on March 13, 2014 at 9:38 PM

Now I realize what Dom's always reminded me of: Rocky the Flying Squirrel. That goofy smile.

sarah70 on March 13, 2014 at 9:39 PM

he's apparently hotter than I've always pictured.

drivel on March 13, 2014 at 9:54 PM

@48: he's even hotter in real life.

gnossos on March 13, 2014 at 10:10 PM

Congratulations!!!!!!!

j2patter on March 13, 2014 at 10:42 PM

Way to go, Dommie! I'm so proud.

NaFun on March 14, 2014 at 12:15 AM

SNAP !

reverend dr dj riz on March 14, 2014 at 1:06 AM

Mazel Tov! Well deserved.

Charlie Mas on March 14, 2014 at 5:32 AM

Congrats sir!

Frieswitdat on March 14, 2014 at 8:15 AM

Finally. So ends a LONG period of Stranger decline! I only feel bad for Eli, a talented writer placed once again in the company of morons.

six shooter on March 14, 2014 at 8:21 AM

Congrats Dom, and congrats on growing your editorial team. Now the question is if you'll be paying the new recruits $15 an hour or more, since you have the money to grow? Looking at you, Tim Keck.

nikoniko on March 14, 2014 at 8:23 AM

Wow, Tim created a full-time content-creation position that ranks lower than "Editor?"* And just for Dom? Neato.

The business side of the office must be feeling enormous heat from your advertisers over 15 Now.

* Also, nice to see Goldy's still on the masthead.

robotslave on March 14, 2014 at 8:39 AM

Mazel tov! (someone had to say it now that Goldy's gone)

devinderry on March 14, 2014 at 9:04 AM

While we're on the subject of Eli, what does this guy actually do anymore? When's the last time he actually wrote an article and not a 3 sentence slog post?

albatross2 on March 14, 2014 at 9:40 AM

Congrats Dom!!

Rujax! on March 14, 2014 at 10:57 AM

Congratulations, Dom!! Well earned and well deserved.

Durang Durang on March 14, 2014 at 11:38 AM

@61: hmmm, let's see: wins Pulitzer Prize, pretty suddenly drops off radar of regular writing, yet is clearly still around (as evidenced by consistent, if short, SLOG posts). What could he be doing? Just a guess: turning the articles into a book maybe?

gnossos on March 14, 2014 at 12:00 PM

Congrats. And let me say I might be the only person in Seattle who doesn't find you attractive.

Clara T on March 14, 2014 at 12:52 PM

Congrats, Dominic! Here's hoping the SPD will get the long overdue overhaul it deserves.

....Disney songs?.....oooooooooookay....

auntie grizelda on March 14, 2014 at 1:10 PM

@64 - agreed, it's the only thing that makes sense

albatross2 on March 14, 2014 at 1:29 PM

Cutest picture of him (not counting dog pics) so far. We love him.

auntie jim on March 14, 2014 at 6:50 PM

Well deserved!

fetchen on March 14, 2014 at 9:36 PM

Yay Dom! Congrats!!!
