Instagram Inspiration: Pumpkin Treats

Pumpkin is everywhere. I am still not sure how we got to this point (that one Seattle coffee chain may be to blame), but pumpkin flavoring now seems to be synonymous with the fall season. Many Seattle restaurants have given into the trend, creating goodies in honor of the harvest fruit. Normally, I roll my eyes at…

Seahawks Win Ugly But What Does It Mean?
The team is again .500 but what does the win mean for their season?
Maybe Seattle’s magic is back; maybe it isn’t. The team got a few lucky breaks on the field Sunday, including a close-call touchdown by tight end Luke Wilson (who scored by the seat of his pants) and a missed call for a too-many-men-on-the-field penalty leading to a Dallas Cowboys field goal instead of a potential…
