Daylight Savings Time, Haunted Houses & More Spooky News
The top Seattle news stories you should be reading today
Happy Halloween, everyone!
The Capitol Hill Seattle Blog has rounded up its 23 most spookiest posts ever. They include some of the “best tales of mystery and paranormal activity from around Capitol Hill from the CHS archives.” Enjoy…if you dare.

Don’t forget that we turn back our clocks one hour this weekend. Like it or hate it, Daylight Savings Time doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. (Unless you live in Arizona or parts of Indiana, which don’t observe the clock-changing practice.) MyNorthwest.com takes a closer look at the much-maligned, twice-a-year ritual.

And if you’re in the mood for more potentially true ghost stories, check these out. I read them last night and had to keep a few more lights on as I went up to bed. Trust.

Working with clay, glass, light, and sometimes synthetic hair, the Hong Kong-born artist gives physical form to things that words cannot always hold. “For me, the magnitude of making goes far beyond the object that is eventually produced,” Chun says. “The object…
The Magic of PAX Is Stronger Than Ever
PAX West draws more than 100,000 people to Seattle each year. Co-founder Jerry Holkins reflects on what the gaming convention set out to change, how its community has grown and why gathering face to face still matters.
Access to game news as it was happening was difficult back in the day. Even with the advent of the internet, communication between game publishers and journalists was still a very elite affair. I used to fake credentials—via fax machine!—to attend the Electronic Entertainment Expo, mostly just known as E3. It was simultaneously as loud…
