Restaurant Roundup: Nordic Cuisine and a Brazilian Brick-and-Mortar
Here’s what was served up recently in the Emerald City.
Monday nights are worth celebrating—you made it through the first day of the week, so why not treat yourself to a delicious meal? Unfortunately, but understandably, plenty of restaurants are closed. But at these spots, not only are the kitchens still serving, the quality doesn’t drop off post-weekend, providing a perfect opportunity for a surprise…
Winter Isn’t Over Yet
Why now might be the best time to take your kids skiing.
For many avid skiers in the Pacific Northwest, this winter has been a bust. Drier-than-normal conditions and a lack of snow have put a real damper on powder days, lift operations, and access to the mountains. As an avid backcountry skier, I’ve noticed the lean conditions and have not made it a priority to get…
Whisky in the Wild
Good spirits.
Over the summer, Westland Distillery announced a new offering, inspired by Washington State. Made in Seattle and taking cues from the Northwest outdoor lifestyle, Watchspot Whiskey blends eight-year-old Westland American Single Malt with grain whiskey from America’s heartland, resulting in a pour that has notes of toasted grain, milk chocolate, biscuit, apricot, and cherry pie….
Dog of the Month: Charlie
Adopt this friendly young pup with big personality.
Charlie is about 10 months old, though his foster parent describes him as an “old soul.” He loves being around people and other dogs, but his social calendar has been limited after an unfortunate encounter with a skunk before he was found just outside Yakima. He is also the recipient of a lifetime ban from…
Becoming Bruce Lee
Seattle Children’s Theatre’s 'Young Dragon' traces how five formative years in Seattle shaped a global icon and reminds young audiences that excellence is built, not born.
The dragon first appears as a flicker. Bruce Lee is not yet the untouchable icon of posters and slow-motion flying kicks. He’s a teenager with a temper, wrestling with a little hot dragon inside him—the fire that flares before he knows what to do with it. It’s a feeling many kids (and adults) in the…
Umbrella Policy
Northwest threads.
Nine years after meeting at Bumbershoot, Cam Russ and Marcus McFall launched a clothing company with Northwesterners on their minds. Called It’s Always Wet in Seattle, the line of sweats and beanies is available in colors reflecting the locale—Orca Black, Lake Union Blue, and Cascade White. Fun details include upside-down umbrella zipper pulls (a wink…
Photo Essay: Steady Trails
Words and photographs by Tiffanie Yang.
Every friday, I get the same text message from my parents: “Where are you hiking this weekend? Don’t forget to send us photos!” It’s a simple reminder of how deeply living in Washington has defined who I am today. Hiking, backpacking, and photography have become more than just hobbies—they’re the driving forces behind my personal…
Sing Her Name
Seattle Women’s Chorus Centers Women’s Stories at Benaroya Hall.
The lights will dim at Benaroya Hall, and 75 voices will rise together. That collective sound has long defined Seattle Women’s Chorus. This weekend, the chorus presents Legacy, a show built around women’s lives and the histories they carry. Onstage February 28 and March 1, Legacy moves between protest songs, contemporary choral works, and familiar…
The Coach: Sonia Raman
The history-making coach leading the Seattle Storm into the future.
In the early 2000s, Sonia Raman was on the traditional track to a successful career in law, but coaching basketball kept bouncing back to her. A lifelong fan of the sport, Raman—who played at Tufts University and coached throughout her collegiate and post-grad career—eventually heeded the call, making a pivot that would change her life….
Going Widescreen with Clouds of the West
The chamber-pop band celebrates the vinyl release of 2025’s earthy and compelling Glass Radio.
When bands get described as having a “cinematic” sound, there’s typically a type of film that’s being evoked: a sweeping epic, a magnum opus, fraught with love and peril, careening across time and space and indulging in the highest of drama. This music may be beautiful and engrossing, but something it rarely feels is natural,…
The Civic Spacemaker: Tommy Gregory
A next-gen curator improving your airport experience.
“I love the saying, ‘sleep when you are dead.’” Few embody it like Tommy Gregory—tireless artist, curator, and connector who seems to be everywhere at once, installing work, throwing receptions, or plotting the next show. Gregory joined the Port of Seattle as senior project manager in 2019, just as airport art collections were gaining global…
The Secret Language of Tu Tu’ Tun River Lodge
A riverside retreat near Gold Beach where glass cabins and wood-fired dining set the pace.
There’s a place where Highway 101 gives way to a winding forest road outside Gold Beach, Oregon. Misty salt air shifts to a forest of Douglas fir and ponderosa pine while the ocean softens into the steady breathing of the Rogue River. It’s here, on land once stewarded by Native American tribes, that you’ll find…
Restaurant Roundup: Fast-Food Firsts and Wine Country Bubbles
Here’s what was served up recently in the Emerald City.
One overnight wait in line, one gigantic bite out of Seattle fast-food history—earlier this week in the University District, 30 to 40 people beat the dawn (but not Sam Darnold) to be the first to eat at Raising Cane’s first location in the city, which officially opened Tuesday morning. For some, 9 a.m. might seem…
Slow Burn R&B
South Seattle singer-songwriter Jaymin leans into vulnerability on debut EP Sweet Nothings, a self-recorded project rooted in intention and the city that raised him.
Seattle has long been a city that shapes artists before the rest of the world catches on. For Jaymin, that shaping happened in church choirs, suburban bedrooms turned makeshift studios, and late nights spent writing songs that favored feeling over flash. With the release of his debut EP, Sweet Nothings, the South Seattle–born singer-songwriter, backed…
To Skate Like A Girl
The Professional Women’s Hockey League expands to Seattle with the Torrent, a talent-filled team poised to sweep the ice.
When Danielle Serdachny was growing up, she dreamed of playing professional hockey. This wasn’t unusual, given that she’s from Alberta, Canada, where hockey is as much a passion as a sport. Her dad teaches skating and hockey skills, and he’d even worked for the National Hockey League’s Edmonton Oilers at one point. Her older sister…
The Piano Teacher: Payam Khastkhodaei
The instructor rethinking the approach to music lessons.
When Payam Khastkhodaei began teaching piano to a family friend’s daughter in his Bothell home at 16, he relied on the same method he had been taught as a kid—classical songbooks, rigid practice, and pieces he never connected with. It didn’t take long to see she was losing interest. “I had learned from the Alfred…
The Neighborhood Gym Effect
Inside Seattle Strength and Performance’s small-group training model and welcoming approach to fitness.
On a regular Seattle Wednesday morning, a little wet and dreary, I walk into a small gym feeling unsure of what I’ve gotten myself into. It’s late January, a time when many New Year’s resolutions are failing and motivation to keep exercising may be going out the window. I work out consistently—lifting weights, going to…
The Scientist: Dr. Mary E. Brunkow
The Nobel Prize-winning molecular biologist is a UW alum.
When the Nobel Assembly called Dr. Mary E. Brunkow around 1 a.m. on October 6 to deliver the news that she had been awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine, she did not answer the phone call. When they called immediately a second time she set her phone to “Do Not Disturb” and…
