                      COMMENDING THE SEATTLE TIMES

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. DAVID G. REICHERT

                             of washington

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 30, 2015

  Mr. REICHERT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend the Seattle Times 
on winning a Pulitzer Prize for ``Breaking News Reporting'' this year 
for their coverage of the Oso, Washington mudslide. This is the third 
time in just five years that the Seattle Times has received this 
prestigious honor, and their tenth total Pulitzer Prize. Although 
Editor Kathy Best said that the paper simply ``did what any good 
newsroom should do when a big story breaks'', it is clear that they 
went above and beyond and raised the bar for reporters and news 
publications across the country.
  The Seattle Times is the largest daily paper in Washington State and 
has been serving the greater Seattle area since 1891. This latest 
achievement only adds to their legacy of community service and I look 
forward to many more years of them reporting the news of my home state.
