You may have heard that a recently-approved element of the Mayor's Nightlife Initiative is brand-new cab stands at popular nightlife destinations. We at Seattlest, as fans of not driving home drunk, fully support this measure. But in the meantime, catching a cab successfully in Seattle is not impossible. Cabbing veterans Alex Hudson and Sarah Anne Lloyd bring you a few handy tips until those cab stands become a reality. more ›

Seattle 911 asked the SPD if walking home drunk was legal (it is) and got a really good tip in return: through a service called Anna's Ride Home, thirty bars in town can offer free cab vouchers to drunken patrons in need. You just ask for a voucher, and the server fills out a slip with your address and gives it to the cab driver. Eventually, the bar and the Anna Armstrong White Foundation split your bill. Though it would be a bad idea to go out on the town planning to abuse this service to get home, Anna's Ride Home is a fantastic alternative to driving drunk. Even Vern Fonk thinks so. Thanks, SPD, for the helpful reminder as we head into the drinking holiday season! more ›
