| 2 | Clarification: Bradley Manning, transgender spy | Opinion and Editorial |
| [Clarification: Since posting this at 6:35 a.m., several readers have accused me of being a bigoted person, making fun of transgendered people. I did not intend that. I was not making fun of transgendered people as such. | ||

| 4 | I cheer Chris Hansen | Opinion and Editorial |
| Grant that under California law Hansen was supposed to disclose his donation by July 31, and he didn’t. His gift was discovered anyway by the diligent action of the California bureaucracy, and good for them. Problem solved. | ||

| 5 | I cheer for the clothesline lady and her right to air-dry laundry | Opinion and Editorial |
| Ella Burnham, 74, has her photo on page one of The Seattle Times Wednesday, hanging out her laundry on a clothesline. Air-drying laundry has become a political issue, because homeowner associations (and the Seattle Housing Authority) ban it as "unsightly" and (this is unsaid) low-class. | ||

| 6 | Mike McGinn vs. Ed Murray: What a mayor is, and isn’t | Opinion and Editorial |
| Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn tries to stop the building of a Whole Foods store because it is nonunion. He sends out a mailer trumpeting his opposition to trains moving coal to Washington ports. Neither is the mayor’s job. But McGinn is running for re-election in 85-percent Democratic Seattle. | ||

| 7 | Homeownership in the United States versus Canada | Opinion and Editorial |
| In the mid-1990s I wrote an opinion column arguing against the tax deduction for mortgage interest. One of the arguments I made was that the percentage of homeowners was only one or two points higher in the United States than in Canada, which doesn’t have the deduction. | ||

| 8 | Did we really make the Port of Seattle pay for part of the tunnel? | Opinion and Editorial |
| Some commenters don’t get this. “CdnSteve,” in Auburn, writes: “Of course, the Port should kick in this money. The hundreds of gypsy trucks that serve the port otherwise would clog the city with endless lines of container carriers… We all have to pay... | ||

| 9 | Are house prices in Seattle in a new bubble? | Opinion and Editorial |
| Just yesterday my wife was pointing out a house on our street once again for sale. “Guess how much?” she said. I said $625,000. The answer: $880,000. The neighborhood is Phinney Ridge, but not on the part with sweeping views of the Olympics. | ||

| 10 | Jeff Bezos buys the Washington Post? Good. I'm for it | Opinion and Editorial |
| Jeff Bezos is one of the creators of the modern economy around here (and I literally mean around here, because Amazon.com's buildings are a few blocks of The Seattle Times). He has made a success of Amazon. Maybe he can make a success of one of the country's best daily newspapers. | ||

| 11 | Welcome, Al Jazeera America and Allen Schauffler, Seattle reporter | Opinion and Editorial |
| I remember the attacks on Al Jazeera, the Arabian Gulf-based TV network, back in 2001 because it broadcast the tapes of terrorist Osama bin Laden. The Bush administration was fighting a war, and Al Jazeera was seen as the enemy. It did give voice to an enemy, to be sure. | ||
