For the past few weeks, the World Cup gave Seattle plenty to cheer about. But remember February?
The Seahawks gave Seattle more than a championship; they gave us each other. In living rooms and crowded bars, in offices and cafés, strangers became family in a single shared roar. Blue and green flickered in windows and on bodies, a signal fire of belief. This victory belongs to the 12s who never stopped believing through the rebuilding years and the heartbreak.

To our Seattle Seahawks, the 2026 Super Bowl LX champions! Your win brought us together and made us proud to be 12s.

Cascade Bicycle Studio Built a Business Around the Perfect Fit
For 20 years, the Fremont shop has offered a highly customized—and client-retaining—consumer experience.
Walking into Cascade Bicycle Studio feels more like stepping into a showroom than a bike shop. In the background are the usual inner workings of a craft-based space: mechanics cranking away, adjusting shafts and stems, tinkering with bicycle parts, and getting their hands good and greasy. On a recent visit, however, when I entered the…
