Seattle Pride Meets the World Cup
A star-studded video campaign celebrates the LGBTQ+ community ahead of the June 26 match at Lumen Field.
Last year, when Michi Suzuki was contacted about getting involved with Seattle’s FIFA World Cup 26 Local Organizing Committee—and specifically, the Pride+ Match Impact Council—she didn’t even have to think twice before saying yes. As a local PR firm owner, longtime soccer player, and member of the LGBTQ+ community, Suzuki saw the opportunity as a…

Rearview Mirror: A Georgian Dinner, Sidewalk Sips, and One-of-a-Kind Clothing
Things I did, saw, ate, learned, or read in the past week (or so).
A new life for old clothes To celebrate one year in its current studio, the FXRY—a clothing repair service available via in-person appointments, home pickup, or mail-in drop off—is dropping its first collection. A small batch of reworked pieces, Second Mark will feature 13 vintage barn jackets, cropped, chain-stitched, and renewed into a completely unique, one-of-one…
Rearview Mirror: Don’t Miss Dance, Street Sips, and Notebooks Galore
Things I did, saw, ate, learned, or read in the past week (or so).
Three’s the Charm It’s rare when I attend a mixed-bill dance performance and walk away liking all three pieces equally. Last weekend I attended Spring ’26, the show closing out contemporary dance company Whim W’Him’s 2025/26 season. Speaking before the show, artistic director Olivier Wevers warned the audience that we had no idea where we…
After Ballet, Lucien Postlewaite’s Next Act
After nearly two decades at Pacific Northwest Ballet, principal dancer Lucien Postlewaite is retiring from the company and stepping into a new, offstage career.
In ballet, extension is everything. The ability to lift and hold the limbs in the air is the basis for much of a dancer’s movement and artistic expression. No one knows this as well as Lucien Postlewaite, who, at 42, has been dancing for almost his entire life. A principal at Pacific Northwest Ballet—and the…
Studio Sessions: Yaminee Patel
A second generation Indian American, artist Yaminee Patel uses her work to explore her heritage, a childhood growing up in the Midwest, and the larger economic and cultural factors surrounding agricultural practices around the world.
Over the past year, Yaminee Patel has narrowed her artistic focus, centering rice as the medium for her work. A symbol of sustenance, survival, hard work, and culinary tradition, rice is a deeply important element in many cultures around the world. It also represents the idea of sharing a meal together, creating human-to-human connection, which…

Trupanion CEO Margi Tooth Leads the Pack
As the CEO of the largest pet insurer in the United States understands the importance of collaboration—and building a trusted team.
Growing up on a farm in the United Kingdom, Margi Tooth dreamed of channeling her love for animals into a career as a veterinarian. Although she took a different path—working in market research and business development before moving into the insurance sector—she still ended up with a job that helps animals. Tooth is the CEO…
Rearview Mirror: New at the Zoo, Waterfront Coffee, and Alaska Goes to Rome
Things I did, saw, ate, learned, or read in the past week (or so).
New Digs for Furry (and Feathered) Friends Last week, Woodland Park Zoo held the press preview for its Forest Trailhead exhibit, and I nearly lost my mind watching one of the zoo’s tree kangaroos, a 12-year-old named Rocket, eat his second breakfast of fresh veggies. It was seriously adorable. Rocket is housed in a modern habitat adjacent…
The Warmest Welcome: Why You Should Visit the Tri-Cities This Year
Just a few hours away from Seattle, this robust community offers great wine, a budding food scene, and more than 300 days of sun.
There is a point, when I’m traveling along Interstate 82 (I-82), somewhere around Exit 26, when I usually notice a shift in the light—especially in the wintertime. Coming out from the pass and heading south to leave the flat, cloud-shrouded gray of Western Washington behind, I feel a burst of happiness at the blue skies…
Go See Diné Artist Eric-Paul Riege’s Largest Show to Date at the Henry Art Gallery
With a mix of mediums, ojo|-|ólǫ́ examines questions surrounding the authenticity and ownership of Indigenous work.
It’s a phrase that’s been drilled into most of us since we were young children: When you’re visiting a gallery, please, do not touch the art. In many cases, it’s with good reason: the pieces on display are fragile, one-of-a-kind, or historic works that cannot be reproduced. It’s such an ingrained approach to the museum-going…
Better Together: This Take on Co-Housing Emphasizes Quality and Community
The Seattle project presents an out-of-the-box model, where investors are also residents, and the design focuses on longevity and tenant retention—not profit.
Growing up in rural Detroit, Chad Dale spent many after-school and weekend hours playing with neighborhood kids in an open lot near his house. It’s an experience he always hoped his children would have someday, but by the time he became a father in Seattle, land was at a premium: either already developed or prohibitively…
Rearview Mirror: Ballet’s Saddest Story, New Art in the Sculpture Park, and a Home-Grown Wine Label Promoting Social Justice
Things I did, saw, ate, learned, or read in the past week (or so).
Circular Thinking I am very lucky to live just a 12-minute walk away from Seattle Art Museum’s Olympic Sculpture Park. It’s a regular destination for my weekly walks and, aside from the world-class art, has one of the city’s best views of Puget Sound. Earlier this week, I went on a wet, windy walk and discovered…
