Speculation continues as to the date of the Seattle P-I’s final print edition. The staff has prepared the content for the farewell, but has no idea when it will run, and parent Hearst is keeping mum. Evidence that there will be an online-only version of the P.I. include the renewal of the seattlepi.com domain which would have expired this month and offers extended to some staff members. But Hearst is keeping quiet about those plans as well. The only certainty is that the staff will be paid through March 18th. All bets are on a final edition being printed by then. Don’t miss P-I photographer Joshua Trujillo‘s awesomely executed photo of March 10th’s full moon rising behind the P-I globe, taken from a kayak in “10 knot winds, 500 yards offshore, with about $8,000 worth of camera and lens in hand.”
