You know what’s even better than curling up with a good book on a stormy day? Laying out in your backyard/local park/Seattle version of a “beach” with a good book. Like just about everything else, the sun makes reading better. And while this weekend doesn’t promise to super sunny, good weather will return, and you can spend this weekend stocking up on the books that will make your summer amazing at the...

Run for Fun (Really, it’s possible)

Run for Fun (Really, it’s possible)...

Many of us (well, at least me) exercise, because we have to. It’s such a chore sometimes that we just look for excuses to get off it. Now imagine you have an excuse to actually exercise!

(Okay, now you can breathe.) Just sign up for the...

Weekend Round-Up: 1/11-1/13

Weekend Round-Up: 1/11-1/13...

Happy Friday, y’all! It was 29 degrees when I woke up this morning. Well, that was outside. Inside, everyone in my house was taken out by fevers of much higher degrees. Flu season, we are thy victims. Oof. Still, because I was well up until 6:07 this morning, I had big plans for this weekend because there are a lot of fun things happening. I shall pass my plans to you, but just metaphorically, because I don’t want...

Pagliacci Pizza Slashes Prices on Saturday

Pagliacci Pizza Slashes Prices on Saturday...

Unlike hot dogs, Seattle doesn’t have a namesake style- thankfully nobody has started squirting cream cheese all over a pizza crust yet- but we do have some mighty fine pies in this here city.

Election Day Parties: Where to Celebrate Democracy in Seattle

Election Day Parties: Where to Celebrate Democracy...

Voting by mail is convenient, but I do have to admit that I miss the camaraderie of lining up outside of a church rec hall or some random neighbor’s basement, casting my vote in a little cardboard booth (that makes terrific fodder for a clubhouse if you’re under the age of 10), and getting an “I Voted!” sticker from a nice old lady volunteer. Since that isn’t an option here in Washington,...
