According to our current addiction, the Democratic Convention Watch blog, some less than stellar reporting created confusion over the status of Rep. Jay Inslee's endorsement of Clinton. Inslee, who represents Washington's 1st Congressional District (Bainbridge Island, Kitsap Peninsula, north King County and parts of Snohomish County) is a super delegate. As we all know by now, the super delegates could be the ones to decide the nomination this year if the pledged delegate counts......

Stand at the corner of First and Pike, and you almost hear the thunder of Seattle's hotel wars, the howitzers of the future as they battle for attention in the trades, the travel mags, the lifestyle glossies. First into battle: a new Four Seasons, across the street from the downtown Art Museum: 21 stories, 149 hotel rooms, 36 residential condos, opening 2008. If your memory goes back more than two years, you'll recall that Four......

There are not enough hours in the day. Just. Not. Enough. If we weren't already going to the New Pornographers show tonight, we'd likely be found at the Ten Tiny Dances performance at CHAC (7:30pm, $15). If you haven't seen it before, the idea is there's a 4' x 4' platform that the dancers have to (more or less) stay on for their performance, like when we were kids and the floor was lava. Lava!......

This Friday and Saturday, Velocity Dance Center presents its Strictly Seattle series, with a who's who of Seattle choreographers: Pat Graney, Dayna Hanson, Keith Johnson, Pablo Cornejo, Aiko Kinoshita, and Crispin Spaeth. It may also star your neighbor -- the series is the result of a three-week course where participants study with up to seven different instructors, work with a choreographer to create a new piece and then perform it publicly.

The first time we saw Kultur Shock, they were opening for Gogol Bordello at Neumo's, and we have to admit, we'd never heard of them. It was an all-ages show, so we were drinking our fill in the Bad Juju lounge next door, until the insane sounds of the band dragged us away from our beers. Quickly we came to regret missing the first half of their set. Kultur Shock is self-described "Balkan punk rock......

"Streetcar gongs ceased their clamor; newsboys cast their unsold papers into the street; from the doors of mill and factory, store and workshop, streamed 65,000 workingmen. School children with fear in their hearts hurried homeward. The life stream of a great city stopped." That's how Mayor Ole Hanson described the beginning of the general strike that was held in Seattle February 1919, one of the few general strikes ever attempted in the U.S. The Bolsheviks......

CELEBRATE MLK: Take a few minutes out of the day to check out HistoryLink's accounting of Martin Luther King Jr.'s one visit to Seattle and then head to Seattle Center for some of their events. The East West Bookshop on Roosevelt also has a "concert and program of tribute" from 7:30pm-8:30pm 10am-5pm // Seattle Center MUSIC: A bunch of local alt-country types are playing at the Tractor tonight and we've had multiple people recommend this......

Tuesday, January 9 >>> Fred Gianelli at Baltic Room. Fred Gianelli has worked under a number of pseudonyms over the years, first as part of Psychic TV, then later as Acid Didj, Giannelli, Deneuve, Mazdaratti, and most famously as The Kooky Scientist. He's weathered a few trends in the world of techno, gathering a reputation as a gearhead and quality producer. Will he feature a stripped down setup this time around, or will he......

"We Never Like Talking About The End" opened at On the Boards last night and we just picked up tickets for Saturday night, too. It's an evening of song (here's our favorite), dance, and video that makes you laugh out loud while contemplating your mortality. Think of a bitter, buttery morsel of dark, dark chocolate. Here's the set-up: it's a rehearsal space, a piano, drums, and guitars at the back, a table and entertainment......

On this date in 1918, the worldwide flu pandemic hit Seattle, as 700 cases were reported among the sailors at the University of Washington Naval Training Center on Lake Union. The disease primarily struck those between 20 and 35. Some 1,600 persons died in Seattle during the next six months despite the closing of theaters and schools, the banning of public gatherings, and the widespread wearing of gauze masks. At first, Seattle authorities acted by......

Previously on Seattlest… we warned you about the Goonies 20th Anniversary Celebration set for the June 3 – 5th weekend in Astoria, OR. To meet the investigative news challenges of this story, Seattlest enlisted the help of Seattle Times illustrator and graphics designer Boo Davis, mastermind behind many of that nascent rag’s more groundbreaking scoops. Taking for granted Davis’ prior trips to (and undercover reporting work in) Astoria, Seattlest didnt offer to help navigate, thereby......
