wtf? Did they forget the story? It is "special"

And it took 2 writers to write this? Here is the whole news article:

The house that got away

By Sarah Jio and Gabi Campanario

Special to The Seattle Times | Seattle Times News Artist

House shopping can break your heart when the home you've fallen in love with remains out of reach. But remember this: You're not alone.

1. Maybe you're supposed to "buy a link" (see mid right side of page)

LOL

Maybe just a placeholder for the complete story?

2. That could be. It just tickled my funny bone.

Good job "House shopping can break your heart when the home you've fallen in love with remains out of reach. But remember this: You're not alone."

Oh-kay.

4. Well, there's actually a very good reason for this ...

While Sarah Jio has long been known for her snappy writing style, it's Gabi Campanario's ability to punctuate (winner of the Creative Use of a Colon award six years running!!!) that makes them a winning team.

6. The 'story' is a giant graphic

9. The story is the "related" pdf? Ah, that, almost, makes sense.

Why not just give it as the story? I don't like pdf's 'cause they lock up my computer for a bit. I think stl-times is trying out a new design for their website as they used to have graphics in story, not teaser with a pdf link.

Thanks.

about a woman who falls in love with a house which her husband says is on too small a lot.

You're not missing a single thing.
