7 2015 in Review

by SW staff | Did your year suck? We feel you. So we’re starting off with 10 reasons to look forward to 2016, from shiny new light-rail lines to the Honest Elections bill to—dare to dream!—the Seahawks’ third consecutive Super Bowl? We also recap the year in gun violence, an unsolved murder in the ID, and the interruption that front-burnered race as a presidential campaign issue, and we update you on 10 cover stories that made a splash and two gaffes that riled up social media. Plus: a comic fantasy of a brave new Amazon-free world.
