A clock is being unveiled in Vancouver today to mark the countdown to the 2010 Olympics in exactly three years.
The Vancouver Sun has an update on the events venues as part of its ongoing, upbeat coverage. The occasion seems mostly ignored by Washington and Oregon media — even a Bellingham Herald story today on an Olympian athlete missed the connection. It seems that the rest of Cascadia is a slow to capitalize on the games and the publicity around them.

The feed, about 30 stories a week, goes all the way back to Vancouver winning the bid in 2003. The most recent items are several months old to protect subscribers, but you can get up to date business news about the Games by subscribing. There’s a link on the archives feed if you want to that.
