Next month marks PubliCola’s one-year anniversary. Throughout December, we’ve been re-posting our favorite Cola articles from our first 12 months.

(Apologies to those who don’t like the reprints, but we’ve got thousands of new readers these days who haven’t seen some of our greatest hits. December, in fact, has been a record month for us, hitting over 10,000 unique visitors one day this month.)

Yesterday, we re-printed a story from our blow-by-blow coverage from this year's education reform debate in Olympia.


Today, we're republishing the first set of original Sounders photos we published by star PubliCola freelance Sounders photographer, Jack Hunter.

Realizing what an exceptional photographer Hunter was, we continued to publish his shots. You'll find more if we scroll through here.

As promised , we sent our own photographer to today's Sounders game at Qwest Field (0-0 tie), so we wouldn't have to pilfer random Sounders photos from the web anymore.

Here's what we got. (And SoundersNerd's coverage of the game is here .)
