  WTO Meeting of 1999 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The negotiations, which were unsuccessful, were quickly overshadowed by massive and controversial street protests outside the hotels and convention center, in what became the coming-out of the anti-globalization movement in the United States.
Seattle mayor Paul Schell imposed a curfew and a 50-block "No-Protest Zone" of questionable legality and constitutionality.
The conclusion by many in Seattle was that the WTO convention was not worth hosting due to the economic damage caused by the protests.

 The Stranger - News - City - Seattle Weekly Up for Sale
The Weekly chose Stern Publishing, when it went up for sale just two and a half years ago, over other buyers in part because the company said it believed in the paper's autonomy and supported the Weekly's offshoot publication, Eastside Week.
Not long after the purchase, however, Stern closed Eastside Week (the idea was to increase the circulation of Seattle Weekly to 150,000 by the end of '98 by distributing it on the Eastside; according to Verified Audit, the number hovers around 99,000).
Weekly founder David Brewster, who left the paper after selling it to Stern, says, "The sense is the decision is being made in New York, and [Stern will] tell you who your next boss is."

 Seattle's other newspaper war   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)

Although the fight between the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and The Seattle Times has received much of the attention from media, courts and the papers' own pricey attorneys, the city's alternative and the alternative to the alternative wage an endless seven days' war, one that is often far more interesting, dynamic and representative of the city itself.
It's become local legend that in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Weekly's writers shared elevators with the musicians and producers streaming in and out of Sub Pop records -- where Nirvana got its break -- and still managed to be the last paper to cover the grunge explosion.

What is worse, he seems obsessed with his own status as a social outcast and uses this collective sense of alienation as the connective thread that unites the Seattle's Republicans -- a groups he holds up as the city's most persecuted minority.

It is Seattle's liberal culture that allowed such goofiness to be put in print.

Their coverage begins with the WTO debacle in Seattle (November 28-December 3, 1999), continues with the protests against the International Monetary Fund and World Bank meetings in Washington, D.C. (April 15-17, 2000), and ends with the Republican and Democratic conventions in Philadelphia and Los Angeles (summer, 2000).
He chastises labor's slimy ducking out at the last minute, thereby fortifying the mainstream press image of the protesters as "global village idiots"--the Wall Street Journal moniker for the anarchist demonstrators who were left to deal with the amped-up militarization.

 Seattle Weekly sharing newsracks with strike newspaper - 2000-11-27
Seattle Weekly, the city's largest alternative newspaper, will share about 200 of its newsracks with the Seattle Union Record, the newspaper being produced by striking employees of The Seattle Times and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
Alisa Cromer, publisher of the Weekly, called the move a "gesture of support" for members of the Pacific Northwest Newspaper Guild.
Starbucks recently sought to exclude free community publications such as the Weekly from its stores, but then reversed policy and left the decision to local store managers, who presumably have discretion to choose whether to allow the Union Record in their stores.
