Post-Intelligencer endorses Street in 43rd

The Seattle P-I has endorsed former Seattle City Councilman and King Co. Superior Court Judge Jim Street in the Democratic primary to replace Rep. Ed Murray. The editorial board praises the quality of all six Democrats, naming Stephanie Pure as especially exceptional amongst the rest, but endorsed Street due to his lengthy experience in elected office.

This marks the first major newspaper endorsement of the primary season, and should provide a minor boost to Street's chances. For the record, I'm still sticking with my Jamie Pedersen prediction.
