Summer vacation means travel time! The Pacific Northwest is known for its beautiful mountains, music scene, food, weather, and thanks to Portlandia, the people that make up the communities of the region. Seattle is a particularly exciting place to visit with easily accessible hiking, culture, sports and more. This week, we’ve rounded up the top journalists at the Seattle Times on Twitter, ranked by the number of Twitter followers. Using Cision’s media database, we compiled the list based on Cision’s proprietary research. All numbers were pulled July 8, 2015.
