"SPACE NEEDLE FROM OLYMPIC SCULPTURE PARK" by OTTAVAYAN from the Seattlest flickr pool. more ›

Mayday, mayday--the flora and vegetation in Olympic Sculpture Park is flatlining! The recent scorching temps and lack of water has caused the grass and flowers in the park's east and west meadows to turn a lovely shade of dead. more ›

During our jog around the Olympic Sculpture Park, we noticed that our favorite art piece was strangely grammatically incorrect. The park's Love & Loss work of art was missing the cute "e" table. more ›

Although we've passed the point in our life where actually going to Hempfest is no longer the choice we'd make on this steamy summer weekend, it is just the kind of thing we love about Seattle: it's a unique event that doesn't take place anywhere else, at least not on the scale that it does here; it's in support of a cause we believe in wholeheartedly; and it offers great views of the mountains and the water. What more could we ask from this event? more ›

With news that long time Seattle Art Museum director Mimi Gates is retiring next year, we are hoping that the Mariners will fire current General Manager Bill Bavasi and hire Gates as his replacement. more ›

is produced by On the Boards but takes place at the Olympic Sculpture Park (through Sunday, June 1, tickets are $24). Much is made of the fact that Back to Back is a company composed of a full-time ensemble of 6 actors with intellectual disabilities, but this is merely incidental, as the piece stands on its own merit. Transcendent scenery, creative use of technology, and a clean, uncluttered script creates a piece of theatre that is multi-layered, unpretentious, and totally innovative. more ›

You may see incumbent councilwoman Sally Clark at a local candidate forum, but you won't see one of her opponents, Bob Brown. more ›

Laser Rocket Arms hates it when we call them "the new Husker Don't." more ›

After being out of the loop for a while, we were interested to read that Washington will have a presidential primary on February 19, and that the City Council races are set (Rasmussen, you are going down). more ›

But let's not lose sight of another change that's proved another vast improvement: Pentagram's reworking of SAM's brand identity. more ›

9pm doors// Baltic Room, 1207 Pine St. // $10 // 21+ more ›

Not true! Sure, Alexander Calder's 39-foot painted steel Eagle is going to be Seattle's next icon, but from this angle it looks kind of like a puppy getting ready to nip at its master's trousers. Rivalry of middle-aged artworks: Eagle is 35, Needle's pushing 50. more ›

No thanks to the Seattle Art Museum or their contractor, Sellen Construction, for making it easy to attend Hempfest this weekend. Their obstinacy in complying with terms of a Parks Department permit wasn't resolved until midweek. more ›

-We're like totally changing our oceans with all this carbon dioxide, man. more ›

In our newsletter from SAM yesterday they told us all about the progress that's been made at the Olympic Sculpture Park over the course of Feb, but we can't find that same information on their website. They say they're finished with their restorative efforts on the seawall. more ›

If you're not watching Game 7 (go Pistons), consider heading downtown to the waterfront for the SAM Olympic Sculpture Park construction kickoff event spectacular. The sculpture park isn't set to be completed until a year from now, but the Party in the Park---sponsored by Target?---is tonight from 4:30 to 8:30 pm. Featuring music and jump roping and dancing (oh my), this soiree is free and for the whole family. Seattlest is particularly excited for the performance of everybody's favorite afroed new wave soul luvaman, Reggie Watts. more ›

It was just a single line in the weekly newsletter from the Northwest Film Forum, but it set Seattlest's heart a-flutter: more ›
