Seattle is one of those big cities fortunate enough to have two major daily newspapers. This provides for healthy competition and in the end the reader gets better coverage. The PI is a smaller paper than the Times. It's owned by a large national newspaper chain, The Hearst Corporation, and after reading the paper everytime I can't help wondering why they can't give the paper just a little more love. This results in national/world coverage that is almost entirely wire coverage, and it's thin at best. Often times the inner sections are four pages, with only several articles. If you're looking to augment your daily news coversage of local Seattle & Pugent news, then subscribing to the Seattle PI is worth it. If want to subscribe to only one daily and get both local and national/world news, then I recommend the Times instead (see my Seattle Times review).
