Hearst has been paying $1 million a year since 1999 for the right of first refusal should the Blethens put The Seattle Times up for sale.
If anyone is interested in entering a similar arrangement with me, by the way, I’m open to negotiation. Have you ever wanted to own a lightly trafficked web site? For the right amount, I’ll guarantee you the privilege of being first up to bat if I decide to sell this one here. Let’s start the bidding at $1. Serious inquires only, please.
