Does the fact that the bird is actually a heron, not a crane, change your appreciation for the photo at all? (Nah... it's still a beautiful symphony of color and calm...)...

I'm an Old Fashioned girl, myself. Anything you can put bourbon and maraschino cherries in is aces with me. Much better in wintry and autumnal weather, but I've been known to knock them back in the ...

Thank you for posting this. I have season tickets for SAL and adore Richard Russo ("Straight Man"! Awesomeness!) but I had a totally star crossed day yesterday and ended up leaving my ticket at home...

I'm turning 33 this month. Does that mean I should think about leaving Seattle soon or risk maxing my "sell by" date? Clearly they're not weighing factors like "Willingness to strike up a conversat...

@srsly: Thanks for the hot mac-n-cheese tip. I have a mac-n-cheese blog with a friend so whenever I go out, if there's mac-n-cheese on the menu, I get it. Whym's mac did not rock my world. Effete ...

'Cause we all want to marry a Lloyd Dobler and that's unrealistic? I just re-watched "Say Anything" and, you know what? That obessive mono-focus on being Diane Court's Boyfriend (oh, and kickboxing, ...

Or maybe there's just a recession in the air... $125? Rather write a check for $50 and take my chances with the guys on Craigslist, thanks....

Fantastic idea. I have to confess-- I loathe SeaFair. Hate the Blue Angels, which, yes, send my already skittish cat into conniptions. Hate thinking about how much money is being spent on these gra...

SQUEEEEEE! Best reason to stick with my current job in Burien, baby. I was just in NYC and wandered through the 34th St. H&M (at-- check it-- 10 p.m. on a Friday night). There is a dreamy $25 emeral...

This review pushed me to buy myself a ticket. Thanks! ...

Ohhhhh... that explains the kegs. I actually rode the monorail yesterday for kicks-- I went from a conference at the convention center to a meeting near Key Arena. Kind of cool to play tourist and i...

Obama/Edwards is off the table, as per Edwards himself (Edwards for AG all the way!). I want Richardson for Secretary of State and Biden somewhere in the cabinet mix, as well. Obama needs someone ...

Every time we have to turn the heat on in June at work, my dumbass McSame loving colleagues make the same "Global warming, huh?" comment. Having spent a fair amount of my free time this year cleaning...

Best visual summary of the current state of Seattle ever. Props to this homeowner for refusing to give in to the pressure from Trader Joe's. It's very "Mike Mulligan and His Steamshovel" and it brea...

We may have known this for months, but it is still amazing. I will believe it in August but for now I am quietly humbled to be an American at this point in our history. Hillary Clinton has been an a...

Thanks for the post, Kim. I have appreciated your steadfast HRC support throughout this process. While I joined the Obama camp with his 2004 convention speech, I would have no problem voting for HRC...

Call me sentimental, but this makes me verklempt. (And, Kim, from what I understand, any rally in Portland would bring out a whole lot of white people.) I do wish he would at least make the appearan...

Seattlest, you cruel tease! The happiest Sundays of my childhood were spent picking out chocolate donuts at the Dunkin by the Staten Island Ferry. I moved here from Massachusetts, where Dunkin' is u...

This is why Seattlest is my number one local news source. Classy, guys!...

This is my neighborhood and we have definitely seen an increase in crime lately. Love Rudd's response. Way to be compassionate. On a different note, this may be heresy, but I found Ezell's to be to...
