Seattle PI is a news blog that has been around for a while, I found posts as old as 5 years. At a glance it appears to be as reliable as any other news source available online.
"Seattle Pi" stands for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. It is an online newspaper based in Seattle, Washington. The Seattle PI carries local news for Seattle, national news, and a fairly extensive comics section.
Yes it has a news section because the seattle pi is a newspaper available at both newsstands and online. Though it may only pertain to business news as opposed to local or world news.
Yes, the Seattle PI website has a weather section. Click on the link called 'Seattle Weather' in the upper right section of the page. It is between the 'Seattle Traffic' and 'Mobile' links.
Seattle was founded on December 10, 1863 by J. R. Watson and company. It was first known as the Seattle Gazette, rather than the PI. The paper didn't fare well in it's first few years and it was renamed.

Pi is (probably) an abbreviation for a Greek word meaning "perimeter" or "periphery" ... the original source is not exactly clear.
65 since 1909 according to the Seattle PI "Special Reports"
The last digits of pi are unknown. The number is not a rational number and will continue on out to infinity. There was a satire written as a news story that appeared, but it was not true.
In "Life of Pi," sambar is a type of deer that Pi encounters on the floating island. The sambar is initially an inviting food source for Pi, but he soon realizes that the island itself is carnivorous and feeds on the sambar at night.
Pi is used in nearly every branch of math. If you need to do anything with a circle, pi was used to make that circle. Any measurement of a circle, cylinder, sphere, etc involves pi. Pi is incorporated into the GPS. All kinds of things use pi. A fun fact for pi: the actual length of a river compared to the straight distance from source to mouth will yield pi.
According to most news sources (and Wikipedia), the most accurate calculation of pi currently stands at five trillion digits (5,000,000,000,000 digits!) That's quite a lot.
