From our citywide-media partner, the Seattle Times: Its editors’ choices for “Pictures of the Year” have just been published – this gallery has 70 images, three with clear West Seattle ties (#26, Mayor Greg Nickels; #28, ex-King County Assessor Scott Noble; #29, Seacrest). Also, if you haven’t already heard/seen this, a West Seattle photo was chosen as the Times’ Reader Photo of the Year — Janna Templin took this amazing ski-jump shot 12/23/08.
