In case the red paper hearts in shop windows, the candy piled around the office or well, a calendar, haven’t alerted you to the fact, it’s Valentine’s Day, the day to show your honey some love with a sweet token. If you have yet to find said token or need a quick pick-up on the…

Those who lament the lack of all-night dining options in the city will have one more option come spring: Scott Horrell, owner of the 9lb Hammer and Loretta’s Northwesterner in South Park is expanding into the space next door to his Georgetown bar to open a 24-hour diner.  Howell is planning a menu of “straightforward…

1. Actually, Reason #1 shouldn’t be spelled out too clearly. Over-explaining it diminishes the palpable explosion of tension that happens in Act I (way to be a killjoy, other media!). A hint: this version of Oklahoma! has more notes from To Kill a Mockingbird  and Shane than it does Howdy Doody and the effect is…

Valentine’s Day isn’t always about enjoying an expensive dinner with the love of your life. Sometimes it’s about cursing relationships with the best single friends in your life. And I’ve learned from my two best friends—Jessica Day and Nathan Bean, both former champions in Bellevue’s Rockaroke competition—that the visceral release of singing your guts out…

Everyone at the office hates me this week, and not because I mutter to myself at my desk (though they have a legitimate reason there), but because I got to check out not one, but two local spas this week. Yes, I have a rough life. First up, the Spa at Willows Lodge has emerged…

The last time Seattle magazine spoke with Drew Christie, local animator/illustrator and one of our 2010 Spotlight Award Winners, he was screening a short film at Northwest Film Forum’s Local Sightings Film Festival in Seattle – and fantasizing about doing the “most time-consuming kind of animation…maybe scrimshaw or embroidery animation.” He still hasn’t accomplished the…

Ballard’s sweet corner destination for special dinners, Le Gourmand, has just announced that it will shutter June 2nd after 27 years. I feel a bit of sadness that our city is losing such a beacon of dining; I’m even just a bit more wistful about tiny, oh-so-perfect Sambar nextdoor closing, as it’s where some of the finest…

MUST GAWKGauguin & Polynesia: An Elusive ParadisePaul Gauguin is known the world over for the vibrant paintings he produced while living on Tahiti and the Marquesas Islands. But the “primitive” objects that inspired him, which he sometimes referenced visually, are often glossed over in discussions of his work. 66 elaborately carved wooden bowls, figurines cut…

50 years ago today, in a major coup, a picture of the Space Needle under construction was featured on the cover of Life magazine, complemented by a seven-page, praise-filled article titled: “How to Pull Off a Fair.” Jay Rockey (shown below) is the man who made it happen. He sold Seattle and Century 21 to…

Loving the archival images that Frye Art Museum posted on its Facebook page today. They were taken on February 8, 1952 at the museum’s grand opening celebration.  Sixty years later, the museum is still bringing us great classical and contemporary art at the best ticket price: free. Someone needs to write captions for these pictures….

I was truly, truly sad when Atlas Clothing shuttered it’s Capitol Hill location last year (although they have re-emerged on Etsy and at the Fremont Vintage Mall, thank heavens). But it seems the 10th Ave space is destined to remain a vintage-lover’s hub: Kaleidoscope Vision is opening in the space this week.   Run by…
