Weekend Round-Up: June 29-July 1

Weekend Round-Up: June 29-July 1...

Ack! It’s already gonna be July this weekend—and there is no sign that this weather is going to consistently be nice. I know all about the July 5th BS you’ve been feeding me the last few years, but c’mon weather gods, throw us a bone. Luckily though, there’s enough free/cheap stuff to do this weekend that I may just forget that there’s a chance of another cold, rainy day in our near future. -Carkeek Park...

Help Us Help You: Summer in Seattle

Help Us Help You: Summer in Seattle...

Hey everybody! Today, we’ve got a bit of a departure in store. Instead of us telling you what to do today, we need you to tell us something. Summer officially started last week, and that means that we all have about 10 weeks to cram a years worth of sunny activity in before the winter sets in. So we need to know what your idea of a perfect Seattle summer is! Please take a minute to talk to us on Twitter, Facebook or in...

Salmon-Chanted Evening: Picnic with Tom Douglas fo...

Tom Douglas is the mastermind behind some of Seattle’s most delicious restaurants, but a meal at the likes of Dahlia Lounge definitely doesn’t come cheap.  But this Saturday, June 30th, he’s hosting a fundraiser picnic Steinbrueck Park (next to Pike Place Market) with a really fantastic name- Salmon-Chanted Evening- where you can chow down on fresh salmon, salads and dessert, all prepared by Tom Douglas chefs for only...

Holy crap, it’s almost July and I’m still wearing a scarf. Something is just wrong here. Luckily there’s places like Chocolopolis to keep me nice and warm at night (seriously people, I actually turned on my fireplace…in JUNE). But if you need a reason to really indulge in those tasty decadent little treats, well I’ll give you one. (photo courtesy of flickr user arnold inuyaki) Chocolopolis is celebrating four years...

Hidden Treasure: Cocktails at Lucky 8 China House

Hidden Treasure: Cocktails at Lucky 8 China House...

In Capitol Hill, the corner of 14th Ave and Union offers a plethora of well-known places to grab a drink. And while the big names- Skillet Diner, Restaurant Zoe, Canon and Tavern Law- may get most of the attention, they can also come with hefty prices and long waits. But when you want to fly under the radar, and say, indulge in a three-and-a-half-hour-long happy hour/gabfest, I suggest you expand your horizons a bit and give...

Weekend Round-Up: 6/22-6/24

Weekend Round-Up: 6/22-6/24...

Woo-hoo! It’s the first weekend of summer! Well, at least that’s what the calendar says. I say that you should ignore the forecast and make a point of getting out there this weekend, whether the skies are grey or not. Remember, this is Seattle and in a few weeks, when it’s legitimately 77 degrees outside, somebody will complain about it being too hot and I’ll want to punch them in the face. So if...

I’ve been getting more and more into writing lately and because of this I somehow found myself searching for things around town and beyond to help me actually finish a story or two. Here are just a few of those findings that even if you aren’t a writer or story teller, you might enjoy as a listener: Photo courtesy of {ErinKphoto} aka redcargurl -Wing-It Productions has different shows going on almost every week.

Sale Day at University District Farmers Market

Sale Day at University District Farmers Market...

There’s a lot of great things about summer- the rush of adequate Vitamin D levels in your bloodstream, the sound of my laughter while I listen to native Seattlites complain about the heat when it’s 81 degrees in August, the sweat dripping off my cold-brewed coffee in the morning, and the fact that I basically spend now through September stuffing my face with fresh berries, cherries, peaches and figs (in that...

Free Summer Fitness: Just remember it’s still Ju...

Photo courtesy of seattlecenter.com I love that Seattle thinks it’s summer right now. Have you people been outside? Sure, we’ve had the occasional warm day. I might’ve even worn shorts yesterday (for a total of 2 hours before I put a jacket and my jeans back on). But we all know that technically this shite doesn’t really kick in until July 5th, so please please please pack your cardigans and long socks until then and...
