Walrus & Carpenter Oyster Bar Coming to Ballard
Boat Street's Renee Erickson and friends will open an oyster bar on Ballard Ave this summer.
Old Ballard Avenue hardly needed another destination restaurant, but that’s not stopping Boat Street Café’s Renee Erickson and friends Chad Dale and Jeremy Price from opening a French-Northwest inspired oyster bar called The Walrus and the Carpenter (the website just went up yesterday). Located in a sliver of a space in the Kolstrand building, the restaurant—named…

Fashion Weekend: Seattle Fashion Week & Luly Yang
Editorial assistant Lauren Lynch recaps a weekend of fashion from urban street wear to Luly Yang's d
As a recent transplant from the great Midwest, I didn’t know what to expect from Seattle in terms of fashion. Aside from adding bling to a pair of crocs, it appeared as if Seattleites were on a coffee-induced move to grab a Patagonia fleece and run with it. With an urge to investigate, I embarked on…
Some Like It Hotter
The Tri Cities Deliver Fun in the Desert Sun
While we Seattleites have been blessed with a mild winter and sunny spring weather, some like it even hotter. Just a 3 1/2 hour drive east, the Tri-Cities region is not only the warmest part of the state–it was 85 and sunny this past Saturday, some 15 degrees warmer than Seattle–but also one of the…

Last Chance to See An Iliad at The Rep!
I finally went to see The Seattle Rep's An Iliad last weekend, and ever since I've been urging peopl
If you barely remember the Iliad and the Odyssey, get thee to The Seattle Rep for a refresher course on the Trojan War—one that will move you like no high school teacher ever did (apologies, Mrs. Nystrom). Pulled from Homer’s classic epic, this version is updated (thankfully not in the cheesy, “Homer writes his poems…

Our top to-dos for the week
Must SeeCondo Millenium3/13-3/15 (Thursday – Saturday) – Local current project, Condo Millennium, is a different kind of risk.

Yesterday I was sitting in my living room talking with some friends, when to my amazement some bright yellow wings flapped by…

EDITOR’S NOTE: THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED Photo by Lorna Yee I’ve long been a fan of Canlis barman James MacWilliams’ cocktails–sipping a Walt Wagner drink in the lounge while listening to the legendary piano player do his rendition of Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” is a most pleasant way to while away the evening. This Thursday, May 13th at 8pm, join…
