The Cost of Staying in Seattle
How do native Seattleites navigate major changes occurring within the city?
The city is changing, affordability is worse than ever, and longtime communities are “hollowing out,” as Seattle City Council member Kshama Sawant has described a Central District that is no longer an African-American enclave.

Instagram Inspiration: Elevated Fall Looks
Stay ahead this season with ideas from Seattle stores and boutiques
I, like most Seattleites, love fall fashion. I firmly believe “the more layers, the better,” and I constantly strive to look as cute as possible while being as comfortable (and warm) as possible.

When Pacific Northwest Ballet (PNB) announced its adieu to the Kent Stowell/Maurice Sendak version of The Nutcracker last year, many of us—and by “us” I mean those rare individuals who have lived in Seattle for more than a few years—reacted with a plaintive groan or a whiny, toddler-esque chorus of Noooo! And it wasn’t because…
