March and April in Seattle bring drizzle, moody skies, and just enough sunshine to temp you outside. Spring officially starts March 20, and we’re all desperately looking for signs of warmer weather, often in vain. Whether you’re indoors or out, there’s plenty to keep you busy while the city shakes off winter. 1 – Art…

Seattle’s got a lot going on right now. Emerald City Comic Con starts today, and MoPOP is launching a new exhibit on the global influence of Asian comics (yes, it looks amazing). Seafair is switching things up with a new parade route. And Seattle Chocolate’s rebrand is inspired by an Irish pirate queen. We also…

Tony Morigi recalls the first Emerald City Comic Con back in 2003. It was a one-day affair that drew about 3,000 people. Flash forward to today, and the Comic Con at the Seattle Convention Center is expected to draw upwards of 90,000 people. “It’s been attracting bigger celebrities,” says Morigi, who has been working at …

March is Women’s History Month, and Seattle is ready to show up — because progress takes work, and setbacks don’t erase the wins. What started with International Women’s Day in 1911 became a nationally recognized month in 1987. Now, it’s a time to reflect, push forward, and have a good time doing it. The city…

Hey, there’s a lot going on around town. We’re weeks away from the first signs of spring, and the city is lighting up. The Downtown Seattle Association is focused on the future, with ideas for keeping the city center lively and full of reasons to visit. Pierce County is getting creative with graffiti, bringing in…

How’s it going? We just sent the next print edition off to the press, and now we’re already planning the next one — never a dull day in the newsroom. A 13-year-old from Vancouver, Wash., recently won a national cooking competition. Two Seattle-based companies landed on the Global Innovators List, which isn’t shocking — this…

Hey, tomorrow is Valentine’s Day! My husband and I keep it simple, but it’s still one of my favorite holidays. This year, we’re meeting some friends at Rocco’s — should be fun. If you’re looking for a romantic restaurant with a pretty view, we rounded up the best places in the city. You can also…

There was a time when events like “The Soul of Seattle” were the only ones of their kind in the city, where the Black population is less than 7% of all residents. Enter restaurateur and provocateur Donna Moodie.   It was Moodie, who opened the third version of Marjorie in Midtown Square in Seattle’s Central District last…

Hey, how’s it going? My kids have been out of school for three days and they, along with the neighborhood kid crew, somehow managed to build a snowman out of less than an inch of snow — truly impressive. With temps set to drop even more tonight, be sure to stay warm out there. Over…

Comedian Tom Papa wants you to feel a little less alone. He knows life is full of chaos and disappointments — crappy meals, fear of the dark, and endless bad news — but instead of letting it crush you, he invites you to laugh about it. His Grateful Bread tour, much like his baking, takes…

Black art, culture, and history deserve the spotlight year-round, but February is when Seattle really steps it up during Black History Month. We’ve got everything from film festivals and discussions to art shows and candle pouring. Support Black-owned businesses while you’re at it, and use your Buy Black Card.  Northwest African American Museum (NAAM) NAAM’s…

Wow, there’s so much happening in the city right now, it was tough putting the Must List together — which is not a bad problem to have. For instance, folksinger and songwriter Ani DiFranco takes the stage at The Moore this Saturday, Feb. 1. GRINDHAUS, a wild mix of drag and performance art, hits The…

How are you? It’s been a tough week here, but at least the sun’s been lovely, hasn’t it? I’ve been leaning on my weekly riding lessons — time with a big, black horse who’s incredibly handsome, a little frisky, and always looking for connection. No opinions, no politics — just that simple give-and-take of trust….
