Never having met a metaphor he could not twist beyond recognition, Art has been illuminating, agitating, amusing and annoying Puget Sound sports readers for a long time. Along with Steve Rudman, he co-founded Sports Press Northwest because it didnt seem right that the Google monster should aggregate daily journalism into oblivion without at least a flesh wound from somebody. Thiel and Rudman labored under the Seattle Post-Intelligencer globe until the print edition died an undeserved death in March, 2009. Art continued on at its online successor seattlepi.com while working on SPNWs creation. His radio commentaries can be heard Friday and Saturday mornings and Friday afternoon on KPLU-FM 88.9. In 2003 he wrote the definitive book about the Seattle Mariners, Out of Left Field, which became a regional bestseller. In 2009, along with Rudman and KJR 950 afternoon host Mike Gastineau, Thiel authored The Great Book of Seattle Sports Lists, a cross between historylink.org and Mad Magazine that has become mandatory reading for any sports fan who has an indoor bathroom. A graduate of Pacific Lutheran University as well as two dead papers and a live one, the News Tribune of Tacoma, he has become a fan of entrepreneurial online journalism because it allows him to continue a lifelong passion to take the English language to places it rarely visits willingly, and does not involve the cleaning of kennels or stables.

Citing no agreement on a maximum guaranteed price, the Oak View Group building the Seattle Center arena has replaced the project’s general contractor.
Right on cue, the Seahawks found a way to win on a Monday night in December. The 21-7 triumph over the Vikings almost has assured a return to the playoffs.
Rod Jones, a member of the 1984 Orange Bowl team who held the Washington career record for catches by a tight end, and more recently was the Huskies’ academic coordinator, died Saturday at 54 by suicide from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
After letting a third-stringer pass for 386 yards Sunday, Seahawks CB Shaquill Griffin seeks to make aggressive amends defending the Vikings’ star receivers.
Compared to what the city has gone through in its battles with pro sports teams, the presumptive fix at Seattle Center is a jaw-dropper.
