City Parklets: Who Needs a Space to Park, Anyway?
These creative uses for city parking spaces are a bit controversial
It’s called a parklet and it’s got some people confused. Jennifer Wieland, public space program manager at SDOT, attributes the confusion to a misunderstanding of what parklets actually are. “They’re small public spaces that fit in easily with the urban landscape and are designed to have a very small impact on the streetscape.” Started as…

Part II: Negro Leaguer Marks Triumphant Return to Seattle
An inside look at the last living member of the Seattle Steelheads’ recent visit to Seattle
I’ve known Herb Simpson for several years now, but in general whenever I’ve seen him, it’s been at his house in the Algiers section of his hometown New Orleans. (He bought that house about 60 years ago soon after returning from World War II, and has lived in it ever since.) So I’ve never really…

Future File: Dolce Vita Warehouse Sale
A few years ago Dolce Vita threw a huge giveaway via Facebook and if I remember correctly, it gave away a thousand pairs of shoes or some insane number like that, proving that this locally-owned, but internationally loved shoe company is not afraid to go to great lengths to promote the brand. This gives me hope that…
Home Decor that Looks Good Enough to Eat

And then in 2004, despite popular vote, owner Jef Fike closed the place. Fast-forward to 2014. Cassis resurfaces on Alki of all places. Fike couldn’t…
