Last day for the Seattle P-I

The final edition of one of my hometown newspapers, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, came out today. Today's online edition is full of stories about the 146-year-old paper, including an indictment of the newspaper industry by one of its business columnists. Even though the P-I will continue online, I still mourn the loss of the paper I grew up reading.

• "The pioneering P-I slips into the past"
• "Class final: How to kill an American newspaper," by business writer Bill Virgin.
• P-I memories page, with stories, photo galleries and video.
• "P-I reporter: 'It hasn't really sunk in yet' " (Seattle Times)
• "The P-I's globe will keep on spinning" (Seattle Times)
• "Inside, and outside, the P-I" (The Stranger)
