Seattle Magazine: Months Behind the Times

Seattle Magazine, that workhorse of the Tiger Oak menagerie, is now online. Sadly, their Best of 2008 issue reads like a goddamn obituary column. Best coach: Mike Holmgren (all but g-gone after a dismal season). Best new restaurant: Quinn's (opened in 2007). Best dance club: Neighbours (almost gone if you believe Slog). Best music venue: Showbox (the old one that's closing any day now). Best alternative weekly: The Stranger (the only alternative weekly, if we're not mistaken). Best local political blog: David Postman in the Seattle Times (long gone, never better than HorsesAss). Best local food blog: Bon Vivant (what? only two posts since July!). No need to mention that power-poster WestSeattleBlog wins Best Neighborhood Blog; not being a nabelog, Seattlest isn't the least bit jealous.
