Patricia Lee Smith, a head honcho in the Seattle Times new media division—in charge of everything from marketing and ad sales and product development when it came to first building, and then managing the daily's online site—announced that she's leaving the company after 12 years.

Seattle Times spokeswoman Jill Mackie says the company has not named a replacement.



UPDATE: Smith is taking a job as Vice President International at booming foodie site AllRecipes.com.
