There really is a Flickr Group for everything! This lovely shot by Vit Novacek was found in the Flickr Boat Propeller Group A Spokane man has been arrested for assault by watercraft, after he drunkenly ran over his wife with a boat during the holiday weekend. The woman's arm was severed below the elbow during the accident and rescuers were not able to recover her forearm because it sank. The woman was taken to a......

Apparently the three-day-weekend wasn't quite long enough for some pranksters in Ridgefield, Washington. School in Ridgefield was delayed for two hours this morning because someone had let the air out of the tires of the school district's entire fleet of buses. The pranksters were quite polite—not slashing the 22 buses' tires, but simply stealing the valve stems. This prank effectively halted operations long enough for students to catch a couple hours of sleep and eat......

This is the Folklife we remember fondly. Photo by Seattlest Flickr contributor pdgibson The ever-dangerous folk music festival scene strikes again! While we were enjoying Sasquatch and the teeming crowds of drunks it brings, there was apparently a shooting at the peace-and-love-in that is the Folklife Festival. The most intense thing at the Folklife that we knew and loved were over-enthusiastic marimba players and drum circles. Apparently, times have changed. Three people were injured on......

So much for feeling all wonderful and relaxed after getting out of the city and off the computer for the three-day weekend. This is what greeted Seattlest at the 93 mile marker when we left The Gorge early "to miss concert traffic:" Stop and go traffic, as bad as any Seattle rush hour we've ever encountered, in the middle of the mountains. The car and camper crawl lasted from mile marker 93 to 60, and......

Only three days away. You're ready, or you think you're ready. You've got your tickets, and your overnight plans are set. Congratulations! Now don't fuck it up. Be prepared. First time visitors to the Gorge are often surprised at how different the climate is from Western Washington. It's hot, it's dry, and it will burn your ass if you're not paying attention. Bring sunscreen and actually use it. Slather up your ears, the back of......

Right on the heels of the announcement that the Mars Volta was added to the Sasquatch lineup, and right before tickets go on sale this Saturday, the three-day music festival has seen fit to delineate who will be playing on which day: Saturday, May 24th R.E.M. / Modest Mouse / M.I.A. / The New Pornographers / The National / Ozomatli / Beirut / Dengue Fever / Fleet Foxes / The Breeders / Okkervil River......

After months of wild speculation, the official 2008 Sasquatch lineup has finally been announced: R.E.M. / The Cure / The Flaming Lips U.F.O. Show / Death Cab For Cutie / Modest Mouse / M.I.A. / Flight Of The Conchords / Rodrigo Y Gabriela / Michael Franti & Spearhead / The Breeders / Built To Spill / The Hives / Tegan & Sara / The Presidents / Ghostland Observatory / Ozomatli / The New Pornographers......

We're one of the most educated and literate cities in the country, and we don't exactly have a shortage of tree-hugging hippy liberals, either. On top of that, we've got one of the most booming music scenes around, and it's been going on for over a decade now. So why is it that we seem to be missing out on the new folk music revival that's infecting left-leaning, bio-diesel driving bibliophiles in equally as savvy......
