Meet our latest obsession: Vancouver, B.C.-based Native Shoes. The hipper, better-fitting Crocs.
Moms (and Dads) of Seattle tired of schlepping your kids to the pool and getting your cute shoes all wet, rejoice! I have discovered a comfy new pair of shoes for you to knock around in and wear from the pool to the grocery store and even to work if you’re lucky to be in…
Editor’s Note: Big Ideas for Seattle Schools, Transportation and More
Recently, we asked movers and shakers in Seattle, "If you had a blank check with which to do anythi
Last May, inspired by a similar feature in St. Louis Magazine, we posed a question to dozens of our city’s leaders (and to our friends on Facebook and Twitter), asking them this: If you had a blank check with which to do anything to improve our city, what would you do? Every time someone’s “big…
Just Add Water
Rachel Hart on our love affair with water.
You might have noticed a bit of an obsession with iconic Northwest landscapes in our travel and outdoors issues this year. In May, we celebrated the craggy mountains that frame our horizons. This month, we turn to our love affair with those other defining natural landmarks: our vast and varied bodies of water. I’ve always…
Lost and Found: Seattle’s Hidden History
Our fearless editorial director gives you the inside scoop on our July issue.
Like migratory birds making a stop on their way to warmer climes, flocks of visitors crowd the sidewalks of Pioneer Square this time of year, waiting their turn to step into the belly of Seattle on the Underground Tour and explore the cavernous, below-sea-level depths where relics of our city’s past lie. Touristy as it…
Rachel Hart on How to Satisfy Soul Cravings
Our fearless editorial director gives you the inside scoop on our June issue.
There are two typical realities in Seattle this time of year: Either we are still wearing our rubber boots, going to T-ball games under umbrellas and wrapped in fleece blankets—or, it’s shorts and tank- tops all weekend. By the time the sun finally decides to make an appearance, we are craving it so bad we’ll…
You’re Invited to Seattle’s Royal Wedding Virtual Viewing Party
Join Seattle Bride editor Kate Calamusa, editorial director Rachel Hart and entertaining guru Kelley
Oh boy. When Kate Calamusa, editor of our sister publication, Seattle Bride, asked our Facebook fans if they would join us if we got up early to watch the wedding of Kate Middleton and Prince William a few weeks ago, we were partly kidding. But the number of people who said they actually WOULD get…
Rachel Hart’s Mountain High
Our fearless leader talks mountains, chocolate cake and Seattle's soul.
That whole thing about climbing a mountain because it is there? Yeah, I’ve never quite understood that philosophy—unless it’s a metaphor that applies to something like a big piece of chocolate cake that happens to be in my line of vision. Many years ago, my husband and I were hiking Mount Rainier—this was pre-kids, so…
Disney Cruises to Embark from Seattle Starting May 28, 2012: Pro or Con?
Family-friendly Seatle vacations just got a boost with the announcement of Disney Cruises departing
Just got word today that starting May 28, 2012, Disney Cruises will sail from Seattle to Alaska, making stops at Tracy Arm, Skagway (aren’t they they known for pie or something like that?), Juneau and Ketchikan as well as Victoria, B.C. We’ve never been on a Disney cruise (or any cruise for that matter, though…
Editor’s Note: April 2011
Making the list
Can you imagine your next trip to Italy without a nice bottle of Chianti Classico or Barolo? Not long after we wrapped up the blind tasting for our Washington Wine Awards last November, Seattle Weekly ran an article shining a light on a gap in the locavore food movement: For all the emphasis Seattle restaurants…
Editor’s Note: Street Smarts
Rachel Hart on Seattle's rich, vibrant neighborhoods, micro-neighborhoods and more.
Seattle is a city rich with vibrant neighborhoods, but what we are especially in love with lately are micro-neighborhoods, those pockets of a few blocks here and there that pop up, sporting a cute shop, a tasty bakery, a new eatery and maybe a wine shop, making you swell with pride—and hope that the real…
Best Personalized Gift for Kids Ever
Stuck for a meaningful idea for what to get that special kid in your life this holiday season? Go ol
With the swirl of multiple magazine deadlines clomping around in my head this time of year, I barely have time to make a dent in my shopping list, but I had to pause and share my favorite kids’ gift of the year before it got too close to the holidays for you to order them….
Shopping: The Most Beautiful Soap Ever
Made in one of the top neighborhoods of 2009, these soaps are almost too pretty to use.
I am not in the camp of buying pretty soap only to have it set out and have it collect dust for years. Life is too short and as a result, luxe soaps have long been my little indulgences. So I just have to share this amazing soap that my son’s teacher from last year gave…
October 2010 Editor’s Note: Hallowed Grounds
Rachel Hart gives you a peek at our October 2010 issue
This past summer, I had two distinct only-in-Seattle moments. The first was at Carkeek Park when I saw a bunch of kids at a birthday party engaged in a sack race. When I looked a little closer, I realized they were hopping around in big, floppy burlap coffee-bean bags. A couple of months later, during…
