While the protests at Westlake seem to have finally gotten the attention of the rest of the media (arrests have that effect), that's not all that's going on. Here's what you may have missed while you were Occupying Seattle: more ›

That encampment ordinance from yesterday passed, a lawsuit against SPD gets $20,000 for an elderly man, and a "suspicious" death. The Mariners get a shutout, Apolo Ohno gets naked. Oh, and there's some "fish waste," too. more ›

Morgen Schuler, Seattlest Music's editor, went to Everett on Friday night to see Duran Duran playing at the Comcast Arena and came back with a passel of images. more ›

When we mentioned heading out to this show, the overwhelming response was something along the lines of "Oh, I hope they play 'Hungry Like the Wolf'". Which is, to be fair, definitely one of their more recognizable songs songs - but when you think about it, Duran Duran helped to shape that eye-rolling, over-the-top, glitz and glam look that we have all come to know and love about the their era. more ›

Everett may catch a lot of flak from snobby Seattleites, but today they're in the media for just cause--improperly repairing over 40 passenger aircraft. more ›

Here at Seattlest we aren’t afraid to venture out of Seattle proper, which is exactly what we’re doing this weekend. Saturday night we’re heading to Everett, our white-collar sibling city to the north, to witness local heavy metal group Midnight Idöls. We first saw these local rockers at the West Seattle Summer Fest earlier this year where they opened for Hell’s Belles. Not only did they leave us deaf for three days, they also drew noise complaints from the nearby nursing home. So basically, it was fantastic. They had kids and their own parents throwing around their hair and devil horns by the second song. more ›

• Firefighters were successful in putting out a house fire that engulfed a vacant Greenwood home early Wednesday morning at Sixth Avenue Northwest and Northwest 85th Street.
• Bellevue introduced their newest downtown police squad, a group to help prevent a rise in crime and likely to become neighborhood heroes, saving the day for downtown Bellevue residents and businesses.

Even with ties to people in high places, the Seattle Police Department was deee-nied, while 30 other Washington agencies were awarded a combined total of $18,543,197 to cover the cost of hiring/rehiring 71 officers over the next three years--benefits included. more ›

Last week, an undercover sting up in Everett had arrested, cited, and in the end released ten men who were suspected of trying to hire a few ladies of the night. Meanwhile, in Seattle this past weekend the West Precinct Anti-Crime Team officers had a field day making several arrests, including at least three women and one 17-year-old girl who were "working" within the Denny Triangle area. more ›

"A bear has been tranquilized in a wooded area near Interstate 5 in Everett," says KIRO TV. We assume they shot him, you know, rather than slipped something into his mojito. Here's the Chopper 7 video. 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.

We're irritated enough about people who were too cheap to fork over the cash for a hotel room or cab fare home after drinking that next year, we might resort to shooting drunk people's cars with paintballs, like this guy from Kennewick did. Kennewick Man did end up going to jail for his creative problem-solving, though, so paintballs might not be the best course of action after all. Please drive safely, city. Driving drunk isn't worth the risk. more ›

Seattlest went to our storage unit to get some snowboarding effects recently, noticed there was really nothing of value in the storage unit and solemnly vowed to dispose of all the contents...except for the TV from the '50s. That, we're keeping. The 15" TV that kinda works, though? The 25" TV that was dropped or something? Gone. That ancient CRT monitor? Garbage. The Mac Classic we were holding onto until a project inspired us enough to do something with it? Right. more ›

North Seattle got snow, West Seattle didn't. more ›

The snow is falling, our dear Seattle friends, it simply isn't falling here. Whistler just announced it is open for business, bagging the ultimate ski resort coup of cutting powder before we cut the turkey. Of course you want to go, but in fondly recalling the days of 1998 when the US-CA exchange rate swung wildly the other way, you fear you can really only afford to stay home and play Ski Resort Extreme Halo 3. We've learned a thing or six going back and forth with our neighbors to the north for many a year now, and so we offer you our quick and dirty guide to saving at least a wee bit of money and time in your BC powder-chasing adventures. more ›
