NFL Stars Unite Against Bullying. Tonight Richard Sherman is featured in USA Networks’ “NFL Characters Unite” documentary. The annual anti-bullying show features NFL stars sharing their stories of overcoming adversity to stay focused on their paths to success.

Up In Smoke. Users of the popular e-cigarette are concerned about higher taxes and limited flavors on the cigarette alternative due to recent legislation in the House and Senate. Governor Inslee is backing new measures aimed to slow the increase in use by high school students, which tripled between 2011 and 2013. The legislation would increase taxes by 95 percent on the devices, bringing them in line with tobacco prices.

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.

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.
