Big Questions Answered During Yesterday’s Seahawks Game
What's a catch? Could the Seahawks come back NFCCG-style? Where are Jimmy Graham, Richard Sherman?
Entering Sunday’s Seahawks game there were a lot of questions surrounding the team. After the game, we had our answers. Sort of. For a contest that had more ups and downs than a Six Flags coaster, more heartache than a hospital ward and more tweets per minute than a bird cage, we were left with…
What it Would be Like if the SuperSonics Came Home

Instagram Inspiration: Elevated Fall Looks
Stay ahead this season with ideas from Seattle stores and boutiques
I, like most Seattleites, love fall fashion. I firmly believe “the more layers, the better,” and I constantly strive to look as cute as possible while being as comfortable (and warm) as possible. When prioritizing comfort–and being subjected to a never-ending grey, sunless sky–it’s easy to get stuck in a sartorial rut consisting of neutral…
Free burgers at The Habit Burger Grill in Kent
My love affair with The Habit Burger Grill started about eight years ago when I moved from San Francisco to the East Bay suburb of Walnut Creek. Walnut Creek had much to offer to a Nor Cal city girl: affordable houses, better schools, free downtown parking, and a new Habit Burger Grill located walking distance…
