Seattle Times API endpoint
Returns about 30 to 35 of the latest Seattle Times stories for one section. `section` is required and takes a section slug such as `seattle-news`, `politics`, `boeing-aerospace`, `mariners`, `seahawks` or `obituaries`. Each item has its title, canonical URL without tracking parameters, summary, publication time and author. Only the newest page is available.

Headlines are the section's most recent stories (about 30 to 35) and carry a title, canonical story URL (tracking parameters removed), summary, publication time, author byline, and image when available. Links that are not stories (section or author pages) are dropped. Results are not paginated, so only the newest page is available.
