The SeattlePi is actaully "The Seattle Post-Intelligencer", a (the?) major daily newspaper in the Seattle area. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer is the oldest morning newspaper in the state of Washington and has a following throughout the Northwest. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer newspaper is a memeber of the The Hearst Corp. familyof newspapers. So, yes, I would say it's a legit news source.
