Attention City Hall (cc: Fleishman-Hillard): Mark Matassa has been the Times assistant metro editor overseeing city and other local government coverage. He's headed back to Seattle (where he has family) to be metro editor of the Post-Intelligencer. This column in the Seattle Weekly approves of the move. Matassa had been a political reporter and editor at the Seattle Times before joining the L.A. Times 2½ years ago. He also started a website, Personal Reader, that covered politics and other Seattle news.
