Bellevue makes an attempt at a decent night but ultimately fails miserably. Meanwhile, the feds take down a drug ring (not a medical marijuana clinic!), Terminator vision is more possible than it was before, and toll-geddon approcheth. more ›

Fallout continues over both the Occupy port protest and plans for Marination Mobile to take over Seacrest Boathouse operations. Plus, dogs visit with Santa, a medical breakthrough, and not having to go to Belltown to get your hair done anymore. more ›

Hello, dearest readers. Guess who's back from sabbatical to steer the ship for a day? Here are your pressing, important, oh-so-critical headlines. more ›

There's a whole lot of depressing stuff going on: an elderly couple's bittersweet end, a disturbing serial flasher and sick dogs, plus you're all about to be trapped on your side of the Bay for a while. But there's some silver lining: a friendly-rivalry football game tonight, a brand new sandwich at Husky Deli, and Halloween. more ›

Seattle reaches its fifth homicide of the year, a man and his dog don't make the best criminal duo, the City tries to fix Gregoire's errors and Mercer Island gets fined, too. more ›

We went to the Seattle International Beer Festival. We took pictures. Kind of like an average Saturday with your friends, only less incriminating. more ›

Early Sunday evening, KING5-TV reports, two women had taken four dogs out for a walk near the train tracks (not to be confused with light rail track) just outside of Seattle, when one dog ran off and onto the train tracks just as a Chicago-bound Amtrak train was approaching. Moments later, the eastbound train struck and killed the dog and injured one of the women who raced after it. The injured woman was brought onboard the train and taken to the Edmonds Station, where paramedics whisked her away to Harborview. more ›

• Dog people, stop reading and just look at these cute puppies instead. Cat people, keep reading. PhinneyWood blog reports that Greenwood's cat-loving-adoption organization PAWS celebrates the adoption of it 10,000th kitty.
• Still wringing out their clothes, photos and soggy possessions, the residents of the recently flooded Wedgwood neighborhood want the city to foot the bill for all the damages the broken water main caused.

• A Redmond-based firm's high-tech biomaterial is being used to treat dogs with glaucoma, reports TechFlash.
• Rainier Valley Post has a story about a woman whose laptop was stolen right out of her lap as she was working in a Southend coffeeshop.
• CHS is celebrating the release of a new infographic (!!) showing the busiest pedestrian areas of downtown, and wishing we had the same kind of map for the Hill.

Capitol Hill Seattle was on fire today, with a Google-mapped report on the dog cops chased around Cal Anderson for an unreasonably long time and a poll on who should be the face on Capitol Hill's dollar bill. (Maybe we suggest Editor MvB's visage?) The Southlake enthused about The Bachelor's visit to Seattle, including five points of interest and--yes--a Google map of the episode's highlights. Cascade Bicycle and MyBallard want to talk about the Burke-Gilman's missing link. Matthew, Laurie and Iris over at Roots And Grubs were let down by their Trader Joes tortillas, but shared how they saved dinner. It sounds scrumptious! more ›

Seattlest gathered the top economic writers in the country and asked them to discuss the ramifications of the $819 billion economic recovery plan. more ›

Seattlest is broadening our horizons--to the runways. Not Boeing, couture. Yes, we're taking a good long look at Seattle's fashion community. No, we do have one. Srsly. And Cameron Levin is going to write about the goings-on for us. Here's her inaugural post, which as it happens is about one of the more unusual fashion events in Seattle. more ›

Seattlest started the New Year with a strong dose of reality. Hot Mama's, supposedly the best pizza on Cap Hill, doesn't cut it for this eater. Crust soggy, toppings bland. more ›

• A revised list of possible new jail sites in Seattle was released yesterday. Georgetown was celebrating that they were no longer on the list, while Magnolia/InterBay and West Seattle were lamenting that they still were.
• The Central District News reports that Washington Hall on 14th Avenue South has passed the first hurdle to being recognized as a historic landmark.
• Keep your eyes peeled for some urban hikers today. About 20 members of The Mountaineers are hiking between branches of the Seattle Public Library. Unlike in the mid-'90s, you might actually be able to tell the difference between an urban hiker and average Seattleite on the street now.

A couple weeks ago, we posted this photo which we'd snapped down by the market. Then Andrew Sullivan linked to it and then England for Obama linked to it. Then we started getting emails from supermodels and George Clooney. Eventually, the limelight dimmed, the girls found another Seattle blog to dance for, and we fell into a deep depression. more ›

This fall we are combining our love of the football and our dream of learning to cook. On Sunday morning, following a trip to a local farmer’s market/major supermarket chain, we will be preparing a meal from the city of the Seahawks opponent. Then at halftime we will throw our badly burned hands in the air and make hot dogs. more ›
