I’ve quickly incorporated Uber as a verb into my lexicon. Example: “Oh, don’t worry about picking me up tonight. I’m totally Ubering it home.” And I don’t think I’m alone in that. I received an email this morning from Uber touting that it’s partnering with local ice cream trucks (Sweet Wheels, Street Treats) to offer…

UPDATE: THIS EVENT HAS OFFICIALLY SOLD OUT!If the wine-guzzling cul-de-sac crew from Cougar Town were real (oh, how I wish they were), they’d no doubt have already snapped up their $35 tickets to Seattle magazine’s Red White & Brew, our summery, celebratory tasting event on August 2 that features all the award-winning reds and whites…

Amid iconic homes by the likes of famed Seattle architects Roland Terry and (coming very soon) Tom Kundig, this modern Madison Park stunner by architect Eric Cobb certainly stands out yet manages to blend perfectly into its environs. Northwest Home editor Shannon O’Leary goes into all the delicious home-design details here, but you can get…

I don’t drink soda because, water. (Sorry, fellow Midwesterners, I’ve long abandoned using “pop.”) But for those of you who do, we suggest getting your fizzy drink fixes from Seattle-based Dry Soda, which churns out lower calorie, not-as-sweet (and kosher!) sodas in myriad flavors. Joining its mix of artisanal flavors (think rhubarb, juniper berry and…

If Jillian Michaels were in charge of our Best of 2013 Readers’ Choice poll, she’d no doubt be screaming “last chance workout!” right about now. (For those of you who are above reality TV [clearly I am not] that’s a Biggest Loser reference.) This weekend is your last chance to cast your vote in our…

If you’ve ever wanted to watch music-playing humans teathered (legally) to the top of the Space Needle, now is your chance. KEXP and Sub Pop, the local record label with 20-plus years under its belt, have partnered for a Silver Jubilee broadcast that will feature the members of the Seattle band Mudhoney rocking out in…

Bertha, the hulking, 7,000-ton earth-drilling machine that’s expected to start boring a tunnel to replace the Alaskan Way Viaduct any day now, is getting loads of attention lately. (During a recent editorial meeting, we all had a good debate on whether or not we’ll be able to feel the digging from our SoDo offices. I…

The Mariners may have lost to the Chicago Cubs 5-3 at Saturday’s Turn Back the Clock game, but I still managed to have plenty of old-timey, sepia-toned fun in the stands. (The sheer amount of Cubs fans present was a bit bizarre, however.) Saturday’s game was just my second experience at Safeco Field; I’m newish…

I once had a group of tourists stop me on the street and ask where they could find the best sky-high views of Seattle. Being a newbie to the city (and generally terrible at coming up with ideas when put on the spot), I blurted out Space Needle and kept walking. A fine suggestion, of…

The deed restriction forbidding the production of alcohol at the old Olympia Brewery in Tumwater, Wash., has been officially lifted. So what does that mean for the vacant (and troubled) site? We love the idea of another brewing company scooping it up and resuscitating it back to beer-brewing life, but Washington Beer Blog blogger and…

Three cheers to the U.S. Supreme Court for ruling the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) unconstitutional. As everyone gears up for an extra special Pride weekend (the 39th annual Pride Parade marches down 4th Avenue on Sunday, June 30), I think it’s important to know exactly how each of the justices voted. King 5 has…
