The Pulse: Bring the Heat
A new Uwajimaya, rising electric bills, and the question of who’ll lead Seattle’s AI future
These are my family plans for the week: a ferry ride to Kingston, banh mi at Rise & Shine Bakery, a stop at Third Place Books, maybe a baseball game. July’s wrapping up, and everything’s starting to speed up. But this week? We’re still in it. Warm, sunny, bright — the kind of stretch we…

At piano camp they practice for three hours a day. That’s the part my 14-year-old daughter remembers when she’s getting ready to go again this year. She puts off packing for the week-long overnight camp because she’s nervous. She tries not to be, because it’s her second year, and you’re not supposed to be nervous…

A Park Made for Lingering
With thoughtful design, clear sightlines, and a sense of safety, Pier 58 feels like Seattle’s front porch

The Pulse: That Summer Light
Seattle’s tooth fairy and an I-5 meltdown
It hit 94 on Wednesday — the hottest day of the year so far. Today’s cooler, breezy even, and I’m not complaining. Everything’s green, and the water’s sparkling. Summer in Seattle really is the best. Last night was our last 9 p.m. sunset for a while and my husband and I made the most of…

Why I’m Letting a Shuttle Drive Me to the Mountains
Trailhead Direct makes summer hiking easier, greener, and a lot less stressful
I used to think driving to the mountains was just part of the deal. Weekend hikes meant leaving early, hoping to beat the crowds, and then, more often than not, spending half the morning circling a gravel lot because I didn’t leave early enough. And that’s after dealing with narrow mountain roads and the stress…
