With Joni Balter off the editorial board of the Seattle Times—which leaves no one (no one!) to foment rage over the war on cars—the Blethens are advertising a vacancy. "The Times editorial team is seeking a shrewd and enterprising editorial writer to help lead critical conversations important to the Puget Sound region and Washington state," says the job posting at NWJobs.

The newest member of the Seattle Times editorial board must be capable of writing "insightful, persuasive editorials" and "should be open-minded." What a refreshing change!
