Sure, when Washington voters passed Initiative 502, it was historic. But when the Seattle Police Department’s in-house blogger extraordinaire, Jonah Spangenthal-Lee, wrote about the implications, the results went beyond historic: Shit got downright epic. Spangenthal-Lee’s “Marijwhatnow? A Guide to Legal Marijuana in Seattle” is perhaps the SPD Blotter post to end all posts, an effort full of Lord of the Rings and magic-show references that, thanks to equal amounts of honesty and humor, earned recognition from the likes of Rachel Maddow, Al Jazeera, and The New York Times and has over 420,000 page views to prove it. “This was a big win in the fight against governmental boring-ness,” says Spangenthal-Lee. “We knew people were going to have questions about pot, and we knew we wanted to put out something people might actually read and retain, but we never could’ve possibly predicted ‘Marijwhatnow?’ would’ve spread like it did.”
