Today, the City bids farewell to a cornerstone of the arts community. Also, two dead bodies and a man who lit himself on fire. Oh, and lasers. more ›

Whoever keeps flashing their laser lights into the cockpits of airplanes approaching SeaTac, will you please STOP ALREADY? Another pilot reported seeing the mesmerizing green lights last night. They estimate the laser show started around 10:15 p.m., coming from four miles north of Husky Stadium. Port of Seattle police and federal agencies have been investigating, and to date, nearly 30 planes have been lit up with laaazer beams. more ›

A few weeks ago, Seattlest had the pleasure of attending the Seattle Laser Dome's latest show, Laser Daft Punk. Our love for Daft Punk has been completely irrational since their WaMu Center show, so between that and the fact that it'd been a while since our last laser show (Laser Plan B), we headed down with some friends to check it out. more ›

A former Husky linebacker is among the football players missing off Florida's Gulf Coast after a weekend fishing trip. Someone was shining lasers at planes at SeaTac last night, and the pilots are all, "Gah! Get that thing outta my eye!" There's no quick fix for the economy, but there's a free fix for your pet. Today is the last day to get your dog or cat spayed for free at Seattle Animal Shelter and it also happens to be the day that Jason the Bachelor hands out the final rose. Here's hoping the loser goes out like a lamb. more ›

We’re pretty sure it isn’t Al Qaeda shining lasers into the cockpits of planes frequenting SeaTac’s airspace. If we were the probable culprits, two idiot fourteen-year-olds living near the runways, we’d be keeping a low profile, because everybody living in Patriot Act America should know that shit is a federal crime. Can you imagine some kid from Seatac in a faded Eminem t-shirt being shipped of to Guantanamo for pissing off a Jet Blue captain on a run to Vegas? Not worth it. Lasers should be limited to scientific uses and trippy concert drug montages--not sinister annoyances. Exceptions can be made for entertaining house cats and tormenting the occasional Belltown sidewalk drunks from the relative safety of your fifth-floor apartment but that’s it. Anything else is completely juvenile. more ›
