"Screw sportsmanship, I want pancakes!" exclaimed one disgruntled fan after the disappointing conclusion of Seattle's first preseason game. The Seahawks defeated the Tennessee Titans 20-18 at Qwest Field, but came up one point shy of rewarding 65,000 fans with a free stack of buttermilk hotcakes at IHOP. more ›

Tagline: "Just trying to make some cool pancakes for my daughter." We humbly give you, Jim's Pancakes. This guy is adorable. He crafts unique pancakes for his little one, all kinds of pancakes.

He posts pictures of his creative culinary endeavors for his daughter's breakfasts. Mmmmm, creativity. Warning: cute attack. more ›

Together at last. more ›

ARTISTS X-ING, WITH CAMERAS: A motley crew of photographers are gathering down at the Market tonight to explore the area through their camera lenses for the evening. They're meeting at that brass pig by the fish throwers (could this event get any more Seattle?) and will be snapping photos around the Market, downtown, Pioneer Square, the waterfront, and more. It's open to anyone who wants to join in the spirit of discovery and photography. more ›
