That's a big chunk of it, yes. KOMO is owned by Sinclair media, KIRO isn't much better. Fox13 is fucking fox, so I won't even bother. The Times is Hearst Corporation. So the vast majority of media sources here are directly owned by institutions that have a vested interest in maintaining status quo.
The Stranger is still independent, but the quality has suffered greatly over the last 10+ years.
Also, this is partly a natural pendulum swing back to the right. A lot of people were upset after the Sawant experiment (debacle?), but instead of finding better leftist politicians, we just fled back to the centrist, corporate bullshit that led us down the Sawant path in the first place.
Agreed, and the appointment of Mark Solomon kind of solidifies that. I'm hoping that we pass 1A, and by the time we actually get to work on it we'll have voted in a council that actually does the shit we want.

Imma let you finish, but Neo had the best 'died and resurrected for our sins' arc of all time.
This song is featured in the horror movie Green Room, which is also an excellent answer to this question.
I hate them less than I hate an Ohio State, so...
You can't root /against/ Detroit. That'd be like watching Varsity Blues and hoping Lance falls out of his wheelchair.
Boss: "How did you get this done already?"
Me: "I upped efficiency by employing clever time-saving techniques."
Boss: "So you cut corners."
Me: "Hell yeah I did."

There was a dude in Seattle who went by Phoenix Jones. He fashioned himself a masked vigilante, roaming the streets saving people from muggings and assaults.
Turns out he was mostly just picking fights with drunk frat guys. And we're pretty sure he was dealing drugs and using the superhero facade to beat up his competition.
