We're putting a Seattle pet on the cover of our February 2015 issue. It could be yours

pets

Thank you everyone for your fabulous entries. We loved seeing all the adorable photos of dogs, cats, bunnies, geckos and horses. It was difficult but we’ve picked three finalists. So if you haven’t heard from us, your fantastic pal is not headed for our cover. But don’t despair, there’s good chance your submission photo will show up in the issue. Look for our pet story in the February issue, on sale January 22, 2015.

It may sound incredibly far off in the future (hey, we work three months in advance!), but we’re looking for one sweet, photogenic and way cool pet to feature on the cover of our February 2015 issue, which will dive into all things pets. Our contest is open to all kinds of cherished creatures, so that includes cats, dogs, ferrets, turtles, tarantulas, iguanas, teacup pigs, or basically any other pet that is able to attend a photo shoot.

How to enter? Simply Instagram a photo of your pet using the hashtag #Seattlemagcoverpet and tell us why your four-legged (or eight-legged…or no-legged) friend should be our cover star. If you don’t have Instagram, email your submission to lisa.wogan@tigeroak.com. Deadline for submissions is November 14, so get to snapping a shot of your adorable pal posthaste.

Please note: We reserve the right to post submissions online or in the magazine.

This could be Fluffy! Or Rover!

POPPING OUR SENSES I don’t think I’ve ever given much thought to a wine cork beyond the satisfying pop it makes when opening a bottle, but after spending a morning at DeLille Cellars in Woodinville with about 50 other people, I have a new appreciation for it. The occasion was “(Pop) Open Your Senses,” a…

Best Bookstore: Beguiled Books

This Pioneer Square darling is easy to spot: pink doors and candy-striped details mark its home near Occidental Square. Beguiled Books started in 2024 as a mobile bookstore, making its way from table to tent to trailer, and finally to its current brick-and-mortar space. Labelling itself as “Seattle’s Original Romance Bookstore,” Beguiled specializes in just…

Best Art Gallery: Foster/White Gallery

A pillar in Pioneer Square’s arts ecosystem, Foster/White Gallery opened in 1966 (then called Richard White Gallery) as the first space of its kind in the neighborhood. It soon gained notoriety for showing preeminent Northwest artists such as Morris Graves, William Morris, George Tsutakawa, and Dale Chihuly. In the decades after founding the gallery, its…

Best Museum: Seattle Art Museum

A vote for Seattle Art Museum is really a vote for three different art outings. The downtown museum pairs ambitious exhibitions with a global collection; the Seattle Asian Art Museum occupies SAM’s original 1933 Art Deco home amid the 43 acres of Capitol Hill’s Volunteer Park; and the Olympic Sculpture Park puts art out in…
