Travel, Design, and a New Season for Seattle Magazine
Our September/October issue is here, with big trips and a fall arts preview you don't want to miss.
Seattle magazine’s latest print issue just landed, and the timing of its arrival—as Seattle’s long summer days shift into the golden light of fall—feels very fitting. It’s a moment of change for the publication, marking the first issue under the direction of our new editor-in-chief, Rachel Gallaher, who joined midway through production. She’s already put her stamp on this one, and you can expect even more exciting changes as we roll into 2026.
We’re calling this book our “travel issue”—packed with stories that take you from Santa Fe to Norway, with plenty of inspiration closer to home, too. Take the fall arts calendar, which offers a deep dive into the upcoming must-see happenings from Seattle’s creative class (have your calendar at the ready), plus enjoy a look at the city’s ever-evolving food and architecture scenes, with a list of the latest new eateries and a look at the touching story behind the home of one member of “Seattle’s first family of phở.”
Pick up a copy on newsstands, or wherever you get your magazines, to see the full issue. Or subscribe to get it early and never miss one. We’ll be rolling out stories online in the weeks ahead.

COOKING WITH ASTER PANTRY A few leaves turn, my inbox fills with fall festival pitches and cozy brunch menus, and suddenly I want to stay home with a glass of wine and cook. I love this nesting season, though I’m not ready to give up summer produce. Earlier this year, I wrote about Seattle chefs…
WALKDONTRUN Returns This Saturday, Turning Downtown Seattle Into a Sprawling Art Show
In its second year, the free festival brings 200-plus artists to a 20-block route September 19, with a secret garden and a former 7-Eleven stocked with art.
Most walks through downtown Seattle involve trying to get somewhere. On September 19, the crosswalk itself might be the reason to stop. Heap Troupe will turn a four-way crossing into a performance, one of dozens of encounters planned for this year’s WALKDONTRUN. The free, all-ages art walk stretches across more than 20 blocks. From 11…
At Two Dot Schoolhouse, Ruth Marie Tomlinson Builds an Artistic Community
For nearly 20 years, the Seattle artist and her husband have welcomed artists, writers, and musicians to a historic Montana schoolhouse. Now they’re searching for its next stewards.
At her solo exhibition last year at The Vestibule, Seattle artist Ruth Marie Tomlinson presented a new series of work inspired by her close readings of British nature writer J.A. Baker’s The Peregrine and Icelandic author Sjón’s The Blue Fox. As if on sheets torn from a sketchbook, her pages included excerpts and outtakes of…

HOOKED ON KNOCKS Admittedly, I am late to this one. The Seahawks’ first season of Hard Knocks, the HBO series that follows NFL teams through training camp, premiered in August, but until last week, I had never heard of it. To be honest, my football knowledge starts with knowing what a touchdown is and doesn’t…
