KOMO and KUOW report that a cop car and a bicycle were involved in an accident this morning on 1st Avenue South near Brandon St. The cop and the bicyclist ended up at Harborview, the cop car ended up inside a sub shop.

Get Out

MUSIC: We'd never heard of any of these bands before, but we're pretty sure the bill of Crap Happy Hookers, Eight Hour Disease [mp3] and Wack Job [mp3] at the Central tonight will, at the very least, be loud. It's part of the Central's weekly "Punks and Pints" series. more ›

Get Out

KARAOKE: Wednesday night is always karaoke night at the Little Red Hen, an outpost of country music that's inexplicably smack dab in the middle of Volvo-driving, NPR-listening, holiday-tree-owning Green Lake. The crowd veers toward the early-20s spectrum, so if you need a break from parties where people discuss mortgages, the new Whole Foods, and their fucking jobs, this is the place to go. Tip: Bring cash so you can buy beer from the guy with the cooler instead of standing in a long line at the bar. more ›

Belltown Barbecue

Belltown Barbecue

Note to editors of Seattlest: not all your readers (or contributors) care that much (i.e., to the exclusion of all else) about outdoor festival music. [Ed. Note: We took a vote and after this post we're all Bumber all the time. Sorry.] No matter. Labor Day weekend has come and gone, signaling the end of Bumbershoot (see the last 27 Seattlest posts), summertime picnics and backyard BBQ. more ›

Media Machinations, Sleep Aids and Forbidden Love

Media Machinations, Sleep Aids and Forbidden Love

Knight Ridder, minority owner of the Seattle Times, got picked up by an outfit called McClatchy Co. this week which is unfortunate because McClatchy, while having a generally good reputation as far as journalism goes, also owns the Tacoma News Tribune and the Times and the News Tribune compete for readers who happen to live somewhere between the two cities. We realize that you may be comatose after reading that last sentence, if in fact you haven't moved on to reading something else by now. We can probably say anything right here and no one would be conscious enough to register what their eyes are telling them. Seattlest is wearing news print thong underwear and high heels as we write this and we're about to apply a second coat of gloss to our lips. Additionally, we have a thing for independent reporters. Not a sexual thing, despite the thong, but a thing. more ›

Sweetest Taboooooo

If you’ve been downtown lately and walked by the Taboo Adult Video on First Ave., you’ve probably noticed that it looks a little different, and well, kinda fancy. And if you were to go inside--y’know, just to ask directions to the nearest Tully’s, certainly not to browse their mammoth DVD collection--you’d see that the store has undergone a complete remodel. more ›
