Show Off Your Scream at the EMP
Perfect your shriek at the EMP Museum's Scream Booth
It turns out fake screaming is serious business. The online photo stream from EMP’s popular Scream Booth—where visitors to the ongoing Can’t Look Away: The Lure of Horror Film exhibit enter a dark, soundproof chamber and scream for an automatic camera—reveals the faces of thousands of people who have shrieked, to varying effect. While they’re…
The Seattle Man’s Fashion Moment
Seattle men are dropping fleece in favor of creative license ranging from retro-funky to neo-dandy
I spotted a man on Pine Street the other day wearing an ascot. Just your average Seattle man in weatherproof shoes, coffee in hand, on his way to work. Wearing an ascot. He could have been naked from the waist down carrying an assault rifle, and had a cop interrogated me, I would’ve confessed, “I…

Happy National Punctuation Day.!?:;–“…
Apparently it’s National Punctuation Day, guys. On this day, we give thanks for all the sentence structure-y things that our friends the comma, period, semicolon, colon, ellipsis and (my personal fave) the em dash do for us. Also, it’s a grand day to mock others who use apostrophes and quotation marks incorrectly. Over on Gawker.com,…

Skateboarding for Girls
Initiating girls into Seattle’s skateboarding culture
For Skate Like a Girl (SLAG) cofounder Fleur Larsen, the best part about teaching girls how to skateboard is opening them up to a whole new world of empowerment. “A lot of learning to skateboard is about trusting your body, taking healthy risks and learning in a community,” she says. Larsen, 34, and business partner…
Sound Transit’s Money Pit: The High Cost of the Sounder North Line
Sound Transit's finances are prompting a lot of head scratching
The autumn nip in the air means one thing—rain is coming. After a hot, dry summer, the shifting forecasts will provoke some grumbles, perhaps nowhere more audible than in Everett, where mudslides canceled 122 trips on Sound Transit’s Sounder north line last winter. For critics of the regional transportation authority (which operates rail and bus…
A Fungus Among Us
I have sort of a thing for mushrooms (the non-hallucinogenic kind, thank you). One of the small-town festivals I frequented while living in the Midwest was Morel Mushroom Days in Muscoda, Wisconsin. I would save my pennies, take home a pint (they were only $12 a pound back then!), and slice up and fry those…
