    The Seattle Times is seeking a sports reporter to cover the Seattle Kraken, NHL and other topics as needed. This person will work with The Seattle Times’ lead Kraken/NHL reporter in one of America’s most vibrant sports cities and regions. Successful applicants will be proven digital and print journalists who are equally adept at spot news, analysis, storytelling and enterprise. This role calls for self-starters who possess strong news judgment and excellent verbal, analytic and writing skills, along with the ability to work all stories under pressure within assigned deadlines.

    Not the Moddy seal of approval, but it gets mine. As with all jobs here. Concur with Moddy. This is a great job and you will grow, learn and excel here led by Paul. If you don't, that's on you.

    There is a name I hope applies for the gig. A quality hockey writer out there looking for a permanent home.

    Do you have to know if "Kraken" is singular or plural? Seriously - is the team named after one Kraken or multiple Kraken(s). Kraki?

    I don't know. But when I told this person he did say I was the second person to suggest it. And he has crossed paths with you before.

    The "he" clinches it, not the same person!

    Not applying for it, so I can ask? Isn't the cost of living in Seattle horrifying?

    Where isn't the cost of living where there are one or more major league sports not horrifying?
