John Cook writes August 16th on GeekWire:

Online news site Patch is pulling up roots in Washington state as part of a larger shakeup at the AOL-owned community news operation. Staffers at Washington Patch were notified Friday morning about the job cuts, with half of the operation losing jobs today and the other half notified that positions would be eliminated October 15th.
