The Seattle Post-Intelligencer is well known for its local newspaper, which remains an online product despite the paper side of the business being halted earlier this year. The paper is also very well known for a roadside icon that sticks in the memory of all that pass through the area whether on business or pleasure.

According to the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer globe, or "P-I" globe tops the statewide list of endangered properties. The P-I globe originally began rotating on November 9, 1948, then moved to its present location in 1986. The globe still spins today although P-I owner Hearst Corporation stopped the printing presses in March 2009 and remade the P-I into an online news company only. More information can be found in the Seattle Post-intelligencer May 26 article. 05-09
