Celebrating SEAtoday’s third birthday

City Editors Alina, Madeline, and Gabe have spent a collective three years bringing local readers top stories and comprehensive guides to Seattle.

It’s our birthday, we can cry if we want to.

Don’t worry, we’re crying happy tears — Friday, Oct. 18 marks three years of SEAtoday. *cue the airhorns*

That means three years of bringing you hyperlocal news, bad puns, and (hopefully) a lot of smiles.

In celebration of our big day, here are some of our favorite moments from the past year:

  • While we were super sad to see Gabe go in February, we had a good time reminiscing about the days spent investigating cryptid goo mysteries and interviewing drawbridge artists.
  • Another silver lining to that tear-jerker of a departure was Madeline’s arrival from Sacramento.
  • SEAtoday also made its on-air debut with KING 5 in August (which was also Madeline’s birthday) — we talked “demure,” fizzy canned cocktails, and Bruno Mars + Lady Gaga’s latest single.

Oh, hi — it’s Madeline (left) and Alina (right) after their film time for a KING 5 segment.

But those are our favorite memories. Here’s the stuff you all loved the most this year:

Thanks for taking this trip around the sun with us — we can’t wait to go for round four.
