A Historic Quilcene Farm Finds Its Rhythm
The former dairy property hosts Tarboo—now in its third year—a family-run music festival built around Northwest artists.
Like a speakeasy, The Quilcene Lantern is hidden in plain sight. To get there one must traverse some of our state’s most iconic majesties: the Olympic Mountains, the Washington State ferries, (and the tater tots onboard), the Hood Canal Bridge, to name a few. However, instead of venturing further toward the charm of Port Townsend…

It’s not uncommon to open social media and see videos about crafting, which could be anything from junk journaling to knitting. While it’s easy to find this content, it’s also easy to be pulled away by your day-to-day responsibilities. But what if you could have uninterrupted creative time in the company of others and instructors…
‘Can you love me if you don’t accept who I love?’
Anne Marie Denman was the “angel” of the family: obedient, attentive, with plans to become a nun. When she came out as gay to her conservative Catholic parents, a deep rupture drove them apart. How do you stay close to people who won’t share your worldview? Can love exist while someone feels rejected? And can…
A New Sake Jazz Bar Brings a Slice of Japan to Hillman City
At Sake Noire, thoughtful pours meet Japanese-Italian plates in a cozy spot inspired by classic jazz kissas.
If you wander through the alleys of a Japanese city, you might be so lucky as to stumble upon a jazz kissa, a café-bar where patrons savor records as intentionally as one would a fine, stiff drink. Now, Seattle’s Hillman City gets its own take on the tradition with Sake Noire—a sleek sake and jazz…
