Is Seattle the Friendliest Pedestrian City in America?

If recently released rankings of big cities in America are to believed, yes. Seattle is the #1 Big City in the U.S. for Pedestrian Safety. And to that we say--remind us never to walk anywhere else in America, ever again. more ›

The S.L.U.T. Hits Its First Parked Car

The S.L.U.T. Hits Its First Parked Car

While the printed media may be calling it the "Seattle streetcar" now, it will always be the S.L.U.T. to us. Yesterday afternoon one of the South Lake Union Trolleys struck a parked truck its backend was hanging over the streetcar's path. While the accident did not seriously damage either the streetcar or the parked truck, it did shut down service for 25 minutes, and the streetcar has been removed from service for minor repairs. No one was injured in the accident. more ›

Seattlest at Sundance: Take Two

Seattlest at Sundance: Take Two

And then there was Downloading Nancy. Whether you loved it or had serious issues with it (we fell into the latter camp), everyone agreed that the film is beyond "difficult" to watch. Deliberately so: loosely based on a true story, the topic is a wretched woman (Maria Bello, fearless as always), full of pain and desperate for a way out of her current situation. The film delves into Nancy's mental illness and the tenuous relationship that comes to exist between her husband (Rufus Sewell) and the new man in her life (Jason Patric). Downloading Nancy is provocative, and the violent images of cutting and other self-inflicted sadism caused quite a few audience members to walk out, some in tears. The entire film is bruised--master cinematographer Christopher Doyle provided sallow tones of yellow and blue. Sure, it's well-made, but with its dark tone and subject matter (and shades of misogyny), how exactly do you market such a downer? more ›

Mike Daisey @ CHAC

Mike Daisey @ CHAC

It was a one-night-only monologue, Mike Daisey's Stories from the Atlantic Night Cafe, and CHAC artistic director Matthew Kwatinetz was happily rearranging chairs for a packed house. Backstage, the program informed us, Daisey was taking an hour to scribble away on a yellow legal pad the outline for what would be a brand-new 90-minute-ish monologue, his delivery punctuated only by pauses as he sipped from a glass of water or glared at remembered insults and injuries. more ›

Dissecting <i>Grey's Anatomy</i>: Hillbilly Picnic Edition

Dissecting Grey's Anatomy: Hillbilly Picnic Edition

Well, well, well friends—and by "friends" we mean people with whom we have established an imaginary, one-sided rapport—we're just about at the end of the line, season-wise, and you know what that means: Time for the writers to trot out the hottest, most cutting-edge, gripping, edge-of-your-seat plot points imaginable. Shish-ka-bob train passengers? Done it. Between-the-sheets shockers? Done it. Peeing without washing your hands? Bingo. more ›

Dissecting Grey's Anatomy: Black Monday Edition

Show of hands, Seattle—how many of us called in sick this morning with plans to just end it all? Well, postpone those urges of mass suicide for a little while longer as we answer this week's burning question: What in the name of Mike Holmgren is a Code Black? We've been teased, taunted, nigh on tortured with those incessant All Important Episode promos showcasing the two words no surgeon wants to hear. And no, they're not Pittsburgh Steelers. Sigh. more ›

Dissecting <em>Grey's Anatomy</em>: Missing Metaphor Edition

Dissecting Grey's Anatomy: Missing Metaphor Edition

Well, well, well. Will wonders never cease? We guess if you complain about the formulaic opening of a show long enough, sooner or later someone starts listening. So this week, dear viewers, feel free to send letters of congratulatory adulation (and sizable cash donations) to Seattlest for finally using its powers for good. Because, as far as we're concerned, it was our big mouths that managed to turn those trite, poorly woven medical-affliction-as-metaphor-for-life opening moments of Grey's Anatomy into a, um, trite, poorly woven optimistic-glass-of-life-is-half-full or-learn-to-say-enough-or-when-or-something-as-metaphor-for-life opening moment. So, yeah. You're welcome. more ›
