Being that today is the actual official first day of summer, it's no surprise that the sun waited until right now to come out. Unfortunately, that means it just missed the Solstice Parade, Pride Picnic, Father's Day and SlutWalk. But that didn't get our photographer friends down. Here are our favorite photos from the past week, plucked from the Flickr pool. more ›

Slut Walkers: Fremont Summer Solstice 2011 (309) by camerarchitect from the Seattlest Flickr pool. more ›

Think twice about your weekend road-tripping plan of attack, especially if your map requires you to take either SR 520 or I-90 bridges. The 520 floating bridge will be undergoing its annual bridge inspection this weekend so tonight, WSDOT crews will close down 520 from Montlake Boulevard E. to 92nd Avenue NE at 11 p.m. It is set to re-open on Monday, June 22 at 5 a.m. Now here's the clincher: come Sunday morning, the I-90 express lanes will also be closed from 6:30-9:30 a.m. (Oh, noes!) for the cyclists riding in the LIVESTRONG Challenge. Good luck with any rerouting so you can see dear ol' Dad. And if that's not enough, expect traffic congestion from Mariners games, the All Nations Cup Parade, and the Fremont Summer Solstice Parade Festival and Street Fair. more ›

LOSE YOUR AIR VIRGINITY: A first for Seattle, tonight you can get pointers (or even perform) at the Air Sex Championships. Yes, you read that correctly. Think Air Guitar sans the guitar solo, but instead swapping it with two minutes of sexy, saucy, or pure naaasty love-making moves with an imaginary sex partner. All to love-makin' tunes sure to put the audience at El Corazon in the mood. And just so you don't start flashing dollar bills, there is no nakedness at this dry humping festival, however creative costumes are encouraged. more ›

We’ve spent the last two Junes bitching about the weather, so we are using this gloomy Friday to rave about all the blue sky and warm temperatures we’ve had so far. Seriously, Greek god of weather, get over here so we may perform many high fives. more ›
