UPDATED: Is Your Pet a Cover Star?

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!

COOKING WITH ASTER PANTRY A few leaves turn, my inbox fills with fall festival pitches and cozy brunch menus, and suddenly I want to stay home with a glass of wine and cook. I love this nesting season, though I’m not ready to give up summer produce. Earlier this year, I wrote about Seattle chefs…

WALKDONTRUN Returns This Saturday, Turning Downtown Seattle Into a Sprawling Art Show

WALKDONTRUN Returns This Saturday, Turning Downtown Seattle Into a Sprawling Art Show

In its second year, the free festival brings 200-plus artists to a 20-block route September 19, with a secret garden and a former 7-Eleven stocked with art.

Most walks through downtown Seattle involve trying to get somewhere. On September 19, the crosswalk itself might be the reason to stop. Heap Troupe will turn a four-way crossing into a performance, one of dozens of encounters planned for this year’s WALKDONTRUN. The free, all-ages art walk stretches across more than 20 blocks. From 11…

At Two Dot Schoolhouse, Ruth Marie Tomlinson Builds an Artistic Community

For nearly 20 years, the Seattle artist and her husband have welcomed artists, writers, and musicians to a historic Montana schoolhouse. Now they’re searching for its next stewards. 

At her solo exhibition last year at The Vestibule, Seattle artist Ruth Marie Tomlinson presented a new series of work inspired by her close readings of British nature writer J.A. Baker’s The Peregrine and Icelandic author Sjón’s The Blue Fox. As if on sheets torn from a sketchbook, her pages included excerpts and outtakes of…

HOOKED ON KNOCKS Admittedly, I am late to this one. The Seahawks’ first season of Hard Knocks, the HBO series that follows NFL teams through training camp, premiered in August, but until last week, I had never heard of it. To be honest, my football knowledge starts with knowing what a touchdown is and doesn’t…
