Seattle Times wins Pulitzer for coverage of deadly landslide
By CHRIS GRYGIEL
Associated Press
SEATTLE — The Seat-
tle Times has won a Pulitzer
Prize for its coverage of a
deadly landslide in Wash-
ington state that destroyed
a small community north of
Seattle, leaving 43 people
dead.
The Times won the award
Monday for Breaking News
Reporting. The judges cited
the “digital account” of the
landslide “and the impressive
follow-up reporting that ex-
plored whether the calamity
could have been avoided.”
It is the 10th Pulitzer Prize
the newspaper has won, and

The Times won the Pulitzer
for Breaking News Reporting
in 2010 and for Investigative
Reporting in 2012.
Editor Kathy Best told
staffers the newspaper’s
landslide coverage honored
the victims of the tragedy by
providing timely, detailed re-

countable after a rain-sodden
hillside collapsed on March
22, 2014, sending tons of dirt,
debris and rocks onto dozens
of homes in Oso, Washing-
ton.
“We did what any good
newsroom should do when
a big story breaks,” Editor
Kathy Best told the news-
room, which erupted in
cheers after the award was
announced. “We gave people
accurate information when
rumors and inaccuracies were
swirling all over the place.”
In the days after the land-
slide, the deadliest in U.S.
history, rescue crews and
desperate family and friends
used chain saws and their
bare hands to pick through
the debris looking for pos-
sible survivors. The number

to accurately determine the
number of people who were
in the area 55 miles north of
Seattle when the slide hit on a
Saturday morning.
In its reporting, the news-
paper described how scien-
tists had warned for decades
of the potential for a large
landslide involving the hill
that gave way, raising ques-

would allow construction in
the area.
“We asked hard questions
in the moment. When public

this was unforeseen,’ we
showed that it was not un-
foreseen,” Best said.
