A couple dozen folks, including political junkies, bloggers, editors and reporters, gathered yesterday afternoon at NY Pizza to bid Riley Sweeney a goodbye as he leaves political reporting and commentary behind to take a job with the city of Ferndale.  Ralph Scwhartz, a reporter with the Bellingham Herald, was there and has posted up a fun article about the gathering on his political blog at the Herald website.  

Permanent links to the Bellingham Herald and to Ralph and Samantha's political blog are in the right side column of NWCitizen, under the "Local Blogs & News" label.
