I cancelled my Seattle Times subscription since the ads on their site are garbage. From the full page red and yellow "Video Only!" ads to some that would redirect to some scam site on mobile without clicking. After complaining repeatedly by email I decided to vote with my wallet and called to unsubscribe. They did their whole retention spiel and said I should just use an ad blocker on their site... Some of the local coverage was good, but I prefer even more focused coverage like CHS Blog/The Urbanist/Seattle Transit Blog and Geekwire.

I know paper is old-school, but it's a lot easier to ignore the ads there, so I pay for the Sunday paper. > Some of the local coverage was good, but I prefer even more focused coverage like CHS Blog/The Urbanist/Seattle Transit Blog and Geekwire. Are these all Seattle-centered? Which of these do you recommend the most?

  Pretty much all Seattle centered except maybe Geekwire that’s a bit broader. If you live in Capitol Hill, then CHS blog is by far the one I’d recommend the most
