--Are we dense yet? The Sightline Institute's Eric de Place has realized that more than half of the people that live in Seattle don't live in traditional house-and-yard setups.

Who opens against the Sonics at the Key? Why it's the only locally-owned NBA franchise! Also the only one that:

Sudoku is a kind of logic puzzle that became popular in Japan in the ‘80s and in the UK early this year, and this summer it suddenly began appearing in several American newspapers. The Seattle Times started running daily Sudoku puzzles in July, right below the bridge column in the Northwest Life section. (They can also be found at the Times web site, with the option of listening to mystical Japanese music as you play.) Just last week Seattlest saw piles of various Sudoku puzzle books prominently displayed at the Kinokuniya bookstore in the International District.

Seems like there's a lot of love going around for Bill Murray. Like a virus, it is. Throughout Hollywood, at Cannes, in the press, amongst the hipster elite...everybody's lovin' that hangdog face.

Not that we don't have our share of gubanatorial insanity here in Washington, but at least we're not California. You may remember that they elected the Terminator as their governor in a special recall election. Yes, it's still funny and getting funnier every day.

Y'know, Seattlest could recommend yet another offering from the Northwest Film Forum, but even we have grown tired of sending you there week after week. Especially since a visit to the NWFF always involves trying to figure out which film is showing in which (unmarked) theater and where the hell the bathroom's at. Seriously guys, a sign or two would make the theater-going experience much more pleasant.
