I am sure that most of you, if you’re like me, have been getting your fill of seasonal pumpkin and winter beers over the last few weeks. But lest we forget, there are some fine fresh hop ales still lingering around. One of the better ones I have come across is the Cowiche Canyon Organic Fresh Hop Ale from Fremont Brewing. more ›

Love it or hate it, for a lot of Seattleites, the Fremont Oktoberfest is the first official marker of autumn. And because the weather has been so unseasonable (until today), plenty of patrons of the festival needed the reminder. more ›

Fremont’s annual Oktoberfest extravaganza takes place this equinox weekend; featuring three days of beer, pumpkin carving, live music, and drunken people dressed in lederhosen. more ›

It may have taken six years, but it looks like Fremont is about to be the lucky recipient of its very own dedicated Fringe theater performing space. While there are a few spaces in the vicinity that have had productions performed in them (Hale's Brewery in Frelard, Stone Soup's upstairs/downstairs configuration in Wallingford, the Fremont Abbey Arts Center), there has been an undeniable void left in the neighborhood since The Empty Space left the area in 2005. more ›

logo or design on pretty much anything (but they probably draw the line at body parts... so let's limit the inquiries to T-shirts, canvas bags and the sort). They're moving into the bustling, artsy Fremont community at 112 N. 36th Street. Not only will they be offering a storefront for their services in custom design and printing, but also selling products from Row Boat Press as well as an additional selection of unique, independent handmade goods for the home. more ›

Since pie seems to be on the rise as Seattle's newest sweet-tooth trend, we decided to find out a little more about the contenders for local pie supremacy. Suzi visited High Five Pie in the So Sous Me series a couple weeks ago, that leaves Pie, a diminutive space in the heart of Fremont that dishes out individually sized pies in sweet and savory flavors. The owners, Renee Steen and Jess Whitsitt, were happy to sit down with us and talk shop. more ›

I assumed going into this that Fremont took its name from John C. Frémont, the general and politician who helped settle California. The real origins, however, lie in Fremont, Nebraska. more ›

Fremont's 14th annual Oktoberfest offers up a staggering array of beers that can be daunting in practice. Whether you are a seasoned drinker or a just a beginner, it's easy to be overwhelmed if you attempt to sample everything. more ›

This city has a pretty impressive network of neighborhood blogs. Here at Seattlest we'd like to resurrect our previous habit of checking in for a roundup of what's happening in our 'hoods. more ›

We first learned about this last weekend when we rushed out to rent An Education for a sick friend in need of a distraction. With three locations including Sunset Hill, Ballard, and Fremont, it is unclear if the other Rain City stores will be closing in the future as well. As we pried the guy at the counter for more details, it seemed as if he knew just as much or as little as we did--the employees had just been told that they would be closing at some point in the near future, pretty much as soon or as late as the in-store videos could all be sold and liquidated. more ›

Once again the zombies attacked Fremont, bringing gore and horror to the streets! more ›

Legally sticking a thumb downward to the smoking ban, Brouwer's shuts down to the public and hosts a cigar and scotch tasting. $100 gets you one complimentary cigar, the opportunity to sample of over 50 different scotches, and access to both a cigar roller demonstration and a dinner buffet. more ›

Today marks his 36th birthday on this rotating orb, and although 36 is no 21 or 50, it still deserves recognition. more ›

What do you think of when you imagine drunk drivers in Seattle? Football fans spilling out of Irish-themed Pioneer Square bars, their livers heavy with whiskey and their judgment clouded by game-day enthusiasm? Or strip club fans barreling down Aurora after leaving with one too many Budweisers? more ›

Periodically a stabbing at your frontal lobe will occur in the form of events throughout the year. It's appropriate with the weather being deplorable that Hump Day (Wednesday) be the day of choice this week. more ›

Neighborhood shout-outs are fun! Because then everyone knows you live there, in that neighborhood! Seattleite couple hoofinitdesigns takes their original ‘hood designs and hand-screens them onto cotton t-shirts. Simple as that. For the time being, only Queen Anne, Pioneer Square, Ballard and Fremont tees are available, but we're rooting for some new neighborhood designs to be posted in the future. more ›

Dirty Three play depressing but somehow uplifting songs. The group instrumental music takes elements from jazz, folk, chamber music, and traditional rock. They’re led by Nick Cave’s favorite violinist--fans of Cave’s brand of Australian literary post-punk rock will enjoy this. more ›
