Unless you're planning to run against Tim Burgess next year, in which case, rock on.
Hah, naw Dom we'll miss ya!
Best of luck to you.
You're right about the lack of guts in Seattle, and it will be fun watching Sally Clark's head explode.
When can I buy my copy of your book about the political failures and personalities that led to Bertha, and the future repercussions of the tunnel? Because I got $20 set aside for that, and I hope you're already writing it. Please explode the Seattle Process on your way out.
So being "self-conscious, timid, and feckless" is actually more attractive to me than "direct, imaginative, and deliberate."
Best of luck to you. May Seattle regress.

I'm the blonde in this scenario.
Guess who else is interviewing around town ...
I've often disagreed with you, but you care and you get out and report on real issues. Gawd knows the diminished Stranger needs more of that - not, as the trend has been, less.
So long!
Don't ever stop being the AMAZING writer, activist...supporter of the less fortunate and warrior private detective you are!!!
If you keep up what you have been doing for the last few years, you will be even more successful at whatever you pursue; so please don't start selling skin-care products or insurance or magazine subscriptions.
I admire your work and wish you the best.
Take care Dom...gonna miss you both here and in the weekly rag in a huge way.
But "leaving to pursue freelance projects" sounds a little too much like the politician "retiring to spend time with the family."
Just another sign of the decline of the Stranger from alternative news weekly to cheap bar rag.
The world needs more people like you. Keep fighting the good fight.
If one wishes to follow your work in the future, where would one look?
Also, as others have noted, the depth and quality of The Starnger's reporting has, well, thinned out the last couple of years. The story of the FBI/Cop year-long stakeout/sting of the harmless poker party guys was sorta the end of Big Long Stranger Stories.
Where is our beloved (or hated) Starnger headed?
xoxoxo
THANK THE GODS AND GODDESSES!!! SOME OF US ARE TRYING TO SLEEP, YA' KNOW?
(But seriously, best of luck in your new endeavors!)
You certainly made a difference, for the better. We've all been fortunate to have you at the news desk at our only paper. Godspeed, my friend.
In any case, what is going on? Is this a conspiracy? Does the Kings County Sheriff's Office secretly own The Stranger and only now have they enacted their revenge? It seems likely.
If that happens, remember your Auntie Catalina (and your dear neighbor Candy) won't you?
Seriously, you've managed to make Seattle a better place through your work, which is why so many of us will miss you.
Yes, Seattle is too timid. Too timid to live up to it's "progressive city" PR and substantially address the aforementioned issues.
Love, Cleopatra, Queen of Denial
The trouble with these events, which seem to be accelerating, is as @67 puts it so well: why? Somehow natural turn-over, particularly in the case of Mr Holden, seems unlikely. We'll suspect a nasty profit taking shallowing of content until proven otherwise. Woe unto an active independent media locally.
Well, whatever it is you end up doing, I hope it's something that we can see, and maybe even pester you at there as well. You'll be missed here.
