AP package was interesting. The roundup was helpful for readers to be able to look up their districts.
B1
Nice to have a local angle on the stair climb story.
Sports
No comment
Business:
There was management advice and some interesting facts about the company
Soundlife:
Are our readers really going to a museum in Poland? It would have been nice to have had a local story there.

Great centerpiece on jail crowing and early release. The photo treatment was a great way to show early release, especially since there were no voices from people processed this way in the story.
The WASL story was great reporting and a scoop.
Muskrat above the fold? How about the election story.
B1
Story about student paper reporting on oral sex in the school was well done. Great sourcing for a Saturday.
Sports
Great high school basketball coverage. Incredible depth and visuals all week. More online coverage than ever before.
Business
Newsy page. Good local stories.
Soundlife
Great look at the art glass installed at the Murano downtown Tacoma. We were wishing there was more color inside for the photos on the jump.

Final story on the cost of housing the dogs was well done. We wanted the cost - $127,000 - in the headline. It's still a shocking amount.
B1
Cool photo.
Soundlife
Not a seasonal story. It would have been better in November. One also mentioned that it was hard to follow the jump. Not obvious that the package continued.
