(Washington, DC)  --  Fourteen-term Congressman Jim McDermott of Washington says he's retiring.  The Seattle Democrat, who's 79 years old, says he has no doubt he would be re-elected, but feels it will be time to step aside after his current term expires.  Fellow Democrat and state Representative Brady Walkinshaw has already announced he'll run for the seat, and several other area Democrats are being mentioned as possible candidates.  McDermott says he'd like to be a college professor after he leaves Congress.
