Amazon Go Opens In Downtown Seattle and it Features A Surprising Number of Local Favorites
We went to the store and skipped checkout for Day One of Amazon's latest experiment.
Hundreds of shoppers clutching free orange tote bags crowded into the fairly snug Amazon Go store in downtown Seattle on opening day, lots of them snapping photos, shooting live vids, some even buying stuff. It was just the kind of buzzy scene PR teams dream about for the premiere of the brave new world of…
Progressive Northwest? White Supremacists Think It’s the Perfect Place to Sow Hatred
Our progressive region may seem like an odd place for the alt-right. But Knute Berger explains why that’s a myth.
Here it is, 2018, and we’re talking about Nazis. It’s hard to believe. Divisions over race in this country suggest that the American Civil War is not yet settled more than 150 years after Appomattox. But there’s unsettling evidence that that isn’t our only unresolved war: We’re apparently still fighting WWII. The Pacific Northwest has…

Is the Jewish Deli Seattle’s Next Restaurant Trend?
Whether or not they're the next big thing Seattle, we’re definitely looking forward to an influx of knishes and kipper salmon in 2018.
The last five years have happily marked the rise of new-wave Jewish delis across the country. Russ & Daughters, the 100-year-old New York staple, expanded to include two new cafes. Mamaleh’s in Cambridge Massachusetts was nominated for Bon Appetit’s Best New Restaurant of 2017. Atlanta’s deli-meets-brasserie, General Muir, has been nominated for three James Beard…

Our local bar and restaurant scene is ever-changing – which keeps things hopping, but also sadly can mean a spot you liked is replaced. Sometimes the new place is worse, sometimes better. Rarely, though, when one restaurant moves in to a space previously occupied by another does it keep the same character – or cigar-box…
