So, it sounds like these alleged crimes took place about 20 years ago. Haven't they passed their statute of limitations deadlines? Why report on this now? Is Erlandson running for office? Has he committed new crimes we should be aware of?

Otherwise, this is just space filler. If this is the new Seattle Weekly, it fails to impress.

Besides, Shoreline isn't really Seattle. I lived there. I know it doesn't believe itself to be Seattle.

It would be better if you covered Seattle-based stories in depth, don't you think?
