This one was open not too long ago if I'm not mistaken?

 

About eight months or so ago.

 

Same position or did somebody else leave?

 

Different position.

 

They've been struggling lately with their staff and they really need another person in there. Great paper, decent area in the PNW. A little bit of a false advertisement to call it a sports writer gig when it's mostly desk work...

PM me for more info.

 

I am available for PMs as well.

 

shitty part of the PNW. if you expect trees, green or cool seattle- or portland-type of outings ... ain't happening here.

 

Come on now, it's not the shittiest part of the NW, that would belong to Burns, Ore. Seriously, though, the Tri Cities are located in a decent area if you can handle some road trips. It is central to Boise, Spokane, Portland and Seattle.

 

name a shittier part of washington without calling out walla walla or yakima.

i dare you.

 

Wapato, Kent and Moses Lake.

 

I see your Wapato, Kent and Moses Lake and I raise you Yelm, Creswell and Spanaway. Walla Walla and Yakima? Not that bad. ;-)
