Tim Keck, the man who inflicted the thing known as The Stranger onto the world, is the subject of a profile by the Seattle Times‘ Jonathan Martin. Martin calls The Stranger “crusading, constantly profane and sometimes hilarious.” Considering the sorts of things we call Seattle Times, I’ll take it.

Christopher Frizzelle was The Stranger's print editor, and first joined the staff in 2003. He was the editor-in-chief from 2007 to 2016, and edited the story by Eli Sanders that won a 2012 Pulitzer...

  1. I know, right? It was a kind of grudging admiration. Almost as if The Times recognizes The Stranger as a power player in Seattle politics for the first time and credits Keck.

  4. Such a fun, fond piece. It helps keep my favorite-ever paper in perspective. It’s a great reminder how there’s a line we readers mustn’t cross if we’re to keep our sanity – we should never take your work more seriously than Keck would. (And isn’t “young, cheap talent cycles through” a great way to describe staffing…)

    Also fun to learn our little blog is a solid moneymaker. Go tell Keck I said you could buy a new ballpoint on me, kid.

  5. A great portrait. I’ve met Tim a couple of times and this described him perfectly. I laughed at the pens; god forbid if OSHA should ever get a look inside that office.
