The Boston Globe, which used to be just below the national papers, is sliding downhill pretty fast as well. That'd leave us with the tabloid (both in format and in editorial style) Boston Herald as the primary newspaper here.

I'm personally surprised that the P-I lasted as long as it did under the JOA.

(Since I grew up in the South Sound, we also read the News Tribune; IMO, it had better Mariners coverage than either of the Seattle papers anyway.)
