Really excited for this. You have put together something really special and true to where we live. Congrats on finishing the inaugural issue!
can't waittttt!
Um. This looks like amazing work. I am so excited and impressed.
Many folks are asking where they can pick up a copy... any newstands carrying this yet?
It will be at Elliott Bay in Seattle and many more coming soon – or you can email us directly. Thanks!
Holy cow. This looks amazing. Congrats.
So .... is this the Pacific Standard that's been substituted for my Wilson Quarterly subscription? At first glance, I can't imagine how the WQ thought this would match the interests of any of their subscribers.
I'm also quite curious why the WQ was "unable" to convert our existing subscriptions to their new digital subscriptions, instead requiring us to write to your PO box to get a refund (for the remaining two years on my WQ subscription), and purchase a new subscription to their digital service.
Um...
No; it probably wouldn't; I don't know.
