Speculation abounded when Charles posted about a recent study showing what would happen to Seattle if a 9.0 quake hit us. The Space Needle was called out as an icon that wouldn't go down. Seattlest's dad is the resident earthquake-and-volcanoes disaster geologist in the family, so we asked for the truth. We were told to consult the disaster flick 10.5, a made for TV turd movie starring Kim Delany (you know, from CSI: Miami, or Law and Order, or, gasp, the OC!). It opens with an Extreme! urban mountain biker evading the quake (because you know, earthquakes chase people--but he was wearing a helmet, safety first!), and ultimately the Needle. Dad uses this clip as a joking intro to a University of Utah disaster course, where the students model disasters like a 9.0 quake hitting Seattle, or a sudden lahar wiping out Orting (where our in-laws live, har). Check it out for yourself: more ›

We've been reading and rereading Hawks/Packers stuff all week. Here the few things we think are important about Saturday's game: more ›

Could we be any vaguer? No, but that doesn't mean there's still not any reason to get excited. With In Rainbows making its formal debut atop the Billboard charts, Radiohead is set to cover North America in two tour legs, one prior to and one following their recently announced European summer tour (June 6 in Dublin through July 8 in Berlin). more ›

For the second year in a row, a legendary coach has ended his career with a loss at Qwest Field. more ›

It seems time for the yearly Seattlest commentary on Paseo Caribbean Restaurant. But since they’re on their annual winter leave, this Seattlester traveled nearly 3,000 miles in search of a comparable Cuban sandwich. The destination: Miami’s El Palacio de los Jugos. The dish: a Medianoche. So how does Seattle’s sandwich stack up to a real Midnight Cuban? more ›

If you're a Cuban exile somehow randomly transplanted from Miami to Seattle, don't go see The Cook at Seattle Rep. The overwhelming majority of sources (including this play) depict you as pretty angry, and The Cook will only further piss you off. If you're anyone else, go see it--You'll love it, although it may also piss you off. If you're a hipster or, less likely, a commie, dress up in your little Castro hat for the occasion. more ›

Did you know that there's only one credible real-estate industry voice in Seattle? It's a marketing firm in town that works with real estate developers. We've learned this from reading Aubrey Cohen's real estate reporting in the Seattle P-I. Here's a search on articles containing the exact phrase "Williams Marketing" -- they're quoted in at least one article per month since last November. (Who are the schmoes paying the P-I for ads when there's so much free ink available?) more ›

While you're enjoying an unseasonably sunny summer afternoon, we will be at Safeco Field, showing our undying support for the 2007 Seattle Mariners, authors of one of the greatest collapses in baseball history. more ›

As a teenager, Seattlest loved posters. We plastered Miami Vice stills rock gods, Tiger Beat pages swimsuit models and sports stars on our walls with tacks, tape and that white boogery stuff. Some boys grow up and out of the phase. Others become obsessed with poster art, set up savings accounts for Flatstock, and bitch about those who “flip,”—resell high-demand gig posters—for a steep profit. (We fall somewhere in between.) Artillery Design, a new site from Seattle-based artist extraordinaire Brad Klausen, should satisfy the latter group. more ›

Nowhere is racial bigotry more starkly communicated than during coverage of the NFL draft. more ›

MUSICALS: Camelot opens with previews tonight--the barely-recognizable celebrity they've pressganged into the production is Michael York, who you know from Austin Powers. more ›

No, we can't root for the Huskies, but there are plenty of former kids who a few short years ago were playing in front of sparse crowds at some smelly high school gym, but in the next two days will play ball on a national stage: more ›

If you've got a MySpace page, or don't have any qualms about "borrowing" someone else's, you can catch a free screening of Reno 911!: Miami tonight at 7pm at Pacific Place.

Reno 911!: Miami will be showing at theaters in Boston, Phoenix, and Seattle on Tuesday January 30th as part of MySpace’s Black Carpet Screening series. If you’re in any of those cities, you only need to print out your MySpace profile, get in your car, and drive to the theater. To get in, just show them the printout of your MySpace page, and you’re set. There’s no charge. If you don’t have a MySpace page, feel free to print out mine and pretend it’s your own. How will they know the difference? more ›

Texas is thawing, the Northeast is freezing, and a sort of natural order seems almost restored to the Ist-A-Verse. Almost. more ›

If you're in the mood for some wide-eyed, Kool-Aid stained boosterism, look no further than this article in today's P-I. It's in response to the New York Times piece announcing a condo-sales slump. The tone is strictly "move along, nothing to see here." more ›

Expect an email from your aunt in Jersey, as Seattle's in the New York Times today: more ›

The 1985 Orange Bowl between UW and Oklahoma is one of Seattlest's earliest memories. After Dad told us to stop fidgeting (we were real nervous) we sat our 8-year-old butt in a chair, by the 17-inch Sony Trinitron, and watched the flickering images of a titanic Husky upset beam back from Miami. more ›

Former Washington Husky offensive lineman Bob Sapp is best-known around these parts falling down--falling down on QB Damon Huard's goal line fumble, for a touchdown, in the 1994 "Whammy in Miami," when the Dawgs snapped the 'Canes 58-game home winning streak. more ›

Even as the stores sport back to school sales (which depress us, even now), summer lingers on your friends the -ists. This week's collection of links provides some of the best, worst, and oddest bits of summer fun. So, bring your laptop up onto the roof, make yourself an umbrella drink or ten, and enjoy this week's choice posts from across the Gothamist network. more ›

Sometimes you need to clean yourself up, get serious, and move in with daddy for a few months before you head to Latin America for a new gig. The District bids Jenna Bush adios. D.C.-based television shows have an elderly audience and DCist has Butterstick the panda bear a birthday bash. more ›

LAist has so much fun this week! They go to E3, where they overhear the timeless remark "Man, this is where nerdy girls get laid." Is that a promise? They also give us this week's best CDs and make us realize that LA is the best place to use Zillow. more ›
