The Crowded Mayoral Primary Slate
Seattleites have shown that they are not in the least bit afraid to toss out an incumbent
This year’s mayor’s race has attracted a large group of challengers; at least eight candidates want to replace Mayor Mike McGinn, who is running for reelection. That number reflects a sense that McGinn is vulnerable, and that should come as no surprise. He began the campaign with low approval ratings. And, historically, Seattleites have shown…

Seven Things (Not) to Do in Seattle This Summer
With so much to do this time of year, Knute Berger suggests leaving a few things off your list
1. Avoid artisanal ice cream.It’s a challenge to keep the taste buds of the creative class from getting bored.

My advice—whether you…

Edie’s Shoes/Scout Apparel owner Erin Dolan has announced the closure of Scout mid-June due to the re-imagining of the block on which her shops live. (We reported on Edie’s moving a few weeks ago, up to the former Brocklind’s costume building.) No word yet of a clearance sale, but we’ll keep you updated if we…

Restaurant Inside Baseball: How (Exactly) Greg Atkinson Opened Marché Bainbridge
Most of us fall into one of two groups. There are the daydreamers, who fantasize about opening a bakery, cafe, bistro or restaurant of their very own one day. They imagine the space, the tables and chairs, the lighting, and of course what kind of food they’d serve. The other group generally thinks people in…

Designer Consignment: MB’s Finds
I don’t need to try to convince you to shop consignment. Either you do or you don’t. Personally, I love it, mostly because I can get high-quality goods for less money and currently I’m in a more-is-more phase of wardrobe building. Which is why I’m excited to check out Mary-Bridget Pehl’s online consignment shop, MB’s…

Gilda’s Club Surviving with Style Luncheon
When my dad had cancer eleven years ago, Gilda’s Club was there for him and that support made him happy. It was that simple. When we were there, he was happy, and that was all that mattered, so I’m forever grateful to this organization for that and those memories and like to do whatever I…
