Festival Sundiata: Black Arts Fest 2013

Festival Sundiata: Black Arts Fest 2013...

One of the greatest parts about summer in Seattle is the abundance of music and arts festivals happening in all parts of town.  It seems as though there’s a party going down every weekend celebrating everything from classic cars to cannabis.  Summer in Seattle, after all, is a time to laugh, a time to play, and a time to do, eat, and see as much as possible before the rain comes again! This weekend’s sunny agenda...

Make It a U-District Weekend

Make It a U-District Weekend...

Make plans to venture over to the U-District this weekend and you’ll find a neighborhood bustling with activities that are easy on the pocketbook. But first, a little advice. If you decide to go, take public transit—‘cause it’s gonna be biz-eee! Second, if you like crowds A LOT, go Saturday. If you don’t mind crowds all that much, go Sunday. Third, if you eat you should go because there will be tasty food all up in...

Gear up at the Pedaler’s Fair

Gear up at the Pedaler’s Fair...

Lucky for Mother Earth (and Seattle bicyclists) someone donned their thinking cap when they scheduled the annual Pedaler’s Fair to coincide with Earth Day. Brilliant! This weekend, cyclists (“roadies,” families with bike-loving kidlets and everyone in between) can check out about two dozen Washington-based, bicycle-inspired businesses all under one roof. Ride your bike to the Pedeler’s Fair and you’ll get extra...

Monday Options: Crafts or Sparkles...

Happy Monday, y’all. It is early and I am probably tired (definitely tired) but that is the sign of a good weekend. Although. I’m sore from taking my first ever yoga class. Is that a thing? I think it’s a thing. Anyway! Here are your options for tonight. You can go sweet or you can go salty. It just depends on how you’re feeling this fine Monday.

Holiday Thursdays at West Elm...

It’s official- there is no stopping this holiday train.  Duck and cover or jump on board- and if you’re anything like me, you’ve ducked way down, skipping out on all the celebratory festivities and blaming the wet stormy weather for your lack of red and green enthusiasm. But there is hope for even the scroogiest amongst you. Holiday rehab comes in the form of FREE holiday classes at West Elm. If you cringe every time...

Urban Craft Uprising: Give Good Gift

Urban Craft Uprising: Give Good Gift...

Contrary to popular belief, holiday shopping doesn’t have to be painful. I mean, sure, you might still be nursing a bruised rib if you were brave enough to grab a Black Friday deal, and yeah, the fact that you’re participating in Cyber Monday as we speak is probably putting your job in danger, but there is an alternative. This weekend, knock your shopping list in half at the Urban Craft Uprising, the largest craft...

Hippies unite: Sustainable Ballard Festival is here

Hippies unite: Sustainable Ballard Festival is her...

I remember a few years back when I happened upon this itty bitty event on some September sunny weekend at the Ballard Commons Park. There were like 10 booths, some goats, random people giving away pens, and something at the library that let me sew my own reusable bag. But as years went on, this teeny tiny thing has turned into a totally legit Sustainable Ballard Festival.   Photo courtesy of Sustainable Ballard 9th...

It’s story time: Cheap, free and possibly win-wo...

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.
