Has she been screamed at by Ed Murray yet?

I wish her all the best, and hope she'll bring hard hitting journalism to the beat and not fall for the spin and BS that routinely comes from our local elected officials. She should take her advice from the X-Files: when it comes to City Hall, Trust No One.

Here's something... despite Godden saying to Eli in July 2012 that Clark drives a vintage Volvo while primarily commuting by bike, the accident she got into in Tacoma was in a Ford Escape SUV reported as her personal vehicle. The Ford Escape is one of the most prevalent vehicles in the city fleet (Crown vic, Prius, Escapes, IIRC).

Have you guys requested the police report on that ?

On behalf of us SLOG regulars, welcome to the meat-grinder, Heidi! Hope you brought plenty of flame-retardant Gore-tex with you from the Inland Empire.

Congratulations, and welcome. The Stranger's news coverage, once excellent, has been dwindling to the anemic over the last year, so you've got a lot of hard work ahead of you if you're going to restore it!

Welcome!

Which kind of reporter are you, a sadist or a masochist?

I hope this leads to an uptick in City Hall reporting on Slog.

Welcome! You'll do fine here as long as you don't advocate too much for $15.00 minimum wage.

Welcome to our little family. Just remember, don't push too hard on the $15.00 minimum wage and whatever else your publisher wants you to support.

I see the Clint Didier poster I stole from his defeat party at China Harbor is still proudly displayed. Welcome, Heidi!

Someone who has lived in both Idaho and Montana makes me hopeful for a SLoG writer who grew up around firearms and may have even fired them recreationally.

Well, if nobody else will objectify her, then I'll take the lead: Damn she's pretty!

I'm sure she's also an excellent journalist and writer.

Congratulations, Ms. Groover! May you have a long and illustrious tenure at this august publication.

Use lots of hand sanitizer.



People in Seattle eat with their hands way too much, and then fail to wash after. It is just disgusting.

We call that "stalling." More tomorrow!

Not one, not two, but three rolodexes?!

I know computers were only invented yesterday but you'd think someone might get around to actually putting the useful contact info into Outlook or Gmail contacts or something.

As a rare rational right-of-center Slogger I welcome you, Heidi and wish you good luck.

@28: I'm guessing Anna's, Dominic's, and Goldy's.

Sounds like a step down. The Inlander is the best alt-weekly I've ever read.

Groover's reporting included, I should add, so hopefully her reporting will be an asset to The Stranger.

@2 Actually, the Stranger newsroom looks so much more calm and comfortable now that there aren't so many damned reporters in it.
