Forbes Magazine must have gotten tired of making the same "Richest People in the World" list, because the magazine has moved on to ranking the "Nation's Most Sinful Cities." In order to do so, Forbes came up with measurable methods to rank the proclivity for each of the seven deadly sins in America's urban populations. (For example to measure the sin of "wrath" the magazine used murder rates for cities.) Of course, you're curious, just......

Moving Under Sea-Tac by Seattlest Flickr Contributor, Grundlepuck We have a theory that all of the statisticians in America are employed either by Major League Baseball, Consumer Reports, or U.S. News & World Report. This week it was U.S. News & World Report statisticians watching their hard work come to fruition, with the release of the magazine's "Airport Misery Index." Seattle-Tacoma International Airport ranked 10th among 47 of the nation's airports in what the......

Wait, before you answer, one detail: Costco's private label hef will be brewed by beloved local micro-operation Gordon Biersch. With an abundance of local breweries producing excellent beers--and a freaking commission created specifically for the promotion of Washington brews--you'd think Issaquah's warehouse overlords would have kept the hop-dollars local. But no. Hef, amber and pale ales will be brewed fresh in San Jose, California. Cheers?......

The Husky secondary allowed 323 passing yards to San Jose St. in Saturday's win. The Spartans completed 80% of their passes. Yes, 80%. You might not complete that high a percentage in practice. Why even have a defense? Post-game, excuses came fast and furious. Coach Tyrone Willingham: "It is difficult to shut down everything in [the passing game]." (also, apparently, to shut down anything) Def. Coordinator Kent Baer: "I think some guys got a......

Update! The CraigsList robber of San Jose State, former player Ellis T. Jones (they kicked him out of the program after his arrest) got some special recognition from exhilarating college football site Every Day Should Be Saturday, in their "Fulmer Cup" rankings--a "competiton" ranking college football programs by the number of illegal acts their players commit. Finally, the real champion here: Ellis T. Jones, the former San Jose State player who allegedly enticed bargain hunters......

San Jose St has fast receivers and backs, and a veteran offensive line. They should be able to score against the Huskies. But San Jose St. also has a very, very thin defense, with only two starters back from last year (one lost his spot and is now better known as the Craigslist robber). Their linebackers are Division 1-AA sized, around 190 lbs. The Huskies should be able to run the ball with ease. Expect......

For years China has been sending us cheap, crappy products, and now the US of A is about to return the favor. Former Husky Mike Jensen has signed with Shaanxi Kylins of the Chinese Basketball Association (the CBA that Isiah Thomas didn't run into the ground...yet.) Bob Condotta has the story on his fantastic Husky Hoop Blog. Jensen is best known for hitting awkward three pointers and making Husky fans scream in pain at his......

Optimists that we are, we'd hyped ourselves into a pretty good mood about the upcoming Husky football season. (Anything to stop from thinking about the Mariners). We thought--hey--the Dawgs start out with four very winnable games (ignoring the Oklahoma game, which they should probably just forfeit now and save state taxpayers the airfare). San Jose State is a slam dunk, Fresno State isn't that good, UCLA is not nearly as good at their 2005......

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. Ah, Houstonist. They're biking to work, that is, if they can figure out how to get there. That's right, Mapquest says "Houston had the......

Last week, Seattlest visited the KEXP studios, met some of our fave DJ's and spoke with one of the most influential voices in Seattle music. John Richards hosts the Morning Show, is the Associate Program Director for KEXP, and Produces the weekly local music show, Audioasis… KEXP has become a real fixture, not only in Seattle, but in the entire Northwest. What, most of all, would you attribute the station’s success to? The bottom line......

It's the time of year when Europe's soccer teams come across the Atlantic to warm up for the coming season by knocking a few of our teams around. Hey, as long as they're in town, might as well hold it at the stadium and sell a few thousand tickets to starved fans and have the annual go at the impenetrable nut that is the American soccer audience. This year English Premier League side Sunderland AFC......

We've always had a soft spot for Alaska Airlines. They seem slightly exotic and yet local all at the same time. But the recent Times story on Alaska's lackluster, lagging performance of late made us realize that we were not alone in our recent Alaska Airlines travel nightmare. According to the Times, Alaska Airlines ranked as the worst airline in the nation for on-time arrivals and departures during May, according to a new federal......

We'll admit it--we programmed Orange Cab into our cell phone just because we thought it was funny--it's not Yellow Cab and what do oranges have to do with Seattle? As with most major decisions in our lives, we made it capriciously and with great good luck. We've also noticed that our cabbies are uniformly pleasant to talk to. We've never had to talk when we don't want to, we've never had to endure political......

March Madness isn't just the NCAA men's tournament, though Seattlest knows they've trademarked the name. At the risk of a lawsuit, we apply it to the hundreds of loser-out basketball tournaments taking place all over the country, from the South Dakota state "A" championship to the public school championships in New York City. Local teams began tournament life last weekend with the Pac-10 Women's basketball tournament and the State 3A Boys and Girls Tournaments.......
