Just because we're stopping, doesn't mean the world is stopping along with us. Here are today's newsworthy items: Suicidal barbecue grills, more information regarding the man who killed a beloved high school teacher and mother, and a man in West Seattle wishes to keep us well-supplied with plastic grocery bags. more ›

Wednesday's pace, while busier than Monday, still has nothing on Tuesday in terms of noteworthy developments. more ›

In an exact opposite approach to the news that we saw on Monday, Tuesday supplied a large number of noteworthy items, with impact that reaches across international borders, the revisiting of a couple trouble making repeat offenders and the transition to a new era in urban commuting. more ›

Not much tends to happen during the week between Christmas Day and New Year's Eve, almost as if the news felt as non-committal to the last week of the year as the rest of us do. "Oh, do something? Meh, all right." And so it goes about its business, popping out the occasional solid story and then going about looking busy with a sheaf of papers in hand. more ›

While Christmas in Seattle was pretty much defined by Sunday's arrival of Windmageddon 2011, it was still a generally peaceful weekend, with some notable exceptions, naturally. more ›

If we thought it was a slow news period earlier this week, it was positively glacially paced today. Not that there was a dearth of things going on, there were even noteworthy developments and events, but one had to go digging for them in order to find anything to talk about. To whit: more ›

*TM Publicola Today in over-reactionary news: Chainsaws! Stabbings! Hoaxes! Mayan Doom Predictions! Columbia City Re-Opens! Wait, that last isn't reactionary at all... more ›

If there was a theme to be found amid today's slate of news, it's the time worn cliche that one thing will inevitably lead to another, although Chaotic elements could always be counted on to shake things up a bit now and then. more ›

At the end of the day, Thursday brought several handfuls of items we've been expecting for quite some time. more ›

Everyone, it seems, has been affected by what has felt like a long week. Even the newsmakers couldn't see fit to give us an exciting day to head into the weekend. Ah, well, we all need breaks. more ›

Another week comes to a close in the Emerald City, and not a lot took place overnight in Seattle, but what did take place, was of a violent nature. more ›

On Tuesday's roster: The eviction of Occupy Seattle from the Seattle Central Community College campus; the high cost of Rob McKenna; the belated creation of checks and balances to the Seattle Police Department; and unions strike back at 1-1183. more ›

Cop layoffs, professorial blast backs, child custody settlements and elusive protesters; these are the encapsulated details from an otherwise lackluster Monday. more ›

It's been a day of reckoning on many levels, as the judicial system handed down several decisions that affect a wide array of people in the Seattle area in both positive and negative ways. more ›

Seemed to be a ton of pent up energy all over Seattle on Thursday night, what with open displays of outrage, fitting ends for heinous activity, identifications and sudden death in the air. more ›

It was a good day for some creeps, a bad one for others, balanced out by a successful protest and the discovery of a woman that's been missing for 18 years. more ›

It's been a mixed day for protesters and well intentioned self-styled superheroes, although the Seattle Police Department gets the better end of the stick once again. more ›

One of the subjects of Joshua Trujillo's now-famous Occupy Seattle photos, 19-year-old Jennifer Fox, says she was three months pregnant when the SPD pepper-sprayed her last week. Now, reports Occupy bloggers, The Stranger and a whole host of other publications, she says she miscarried as a result of the pepper spray, plus getting hit in the stomach. more ›

I mean, really, could this week have been any longer? Ah, well, at least the commute will be li--never mind, 99's closed until 8:00p.m. tonight. Check inside for some other ponderables (are all cops bad liars? If McKenna supports something does that make it less palatable?) amid a silver lining (Yay, council approves the creation of an immigrant/refugee commission!) to end the week. more ›

A look at what else happened today beyond Occupy Seattle's eviction: bigotry goes on the public record, an SPD cop commits the crime he's supposed to prevent, the worst lie ever told to cover up an assault and more! more ›

It seems everyone, even the newsmakers, rabble rousers and muck rakers have taken Friday afternoon off. more ›

Stirring up a recent shitstorm is the recent enforcement of a 1993 tax on admission with an "opportunity to dance." Anonymous bars, clubs and venues told The Stranger that the State Department of Revenue has started hitting them up for back taxes they've never had to pay before -- up to $210,000. The businesses, and the City Department of Film and Music, say they have never seen the tax enforced on music venues before. The Department of Revenue says this has always been a thing, and they have always said that that this is a thing. This leaves bars, clubs and nightlife patrons wondering: what is this tax, what does it apply to, and why has it only recently been enforced? more ›

Metro's woes put into context, a rather regrettable lapse in political wisdom, and a macabre end to a very slow news week. more ›

After former Seattle-area reporter Dorothy Parvaz spent several harrowing weeks in detainment by the Syrian and Iranian government, she's finally returned home safely. And like any good journalist, she's already written the story into a clear, education and horrifying account. more ›

We received some exceptionally sad news regarding one of our local journalists today. more ›

Remember Jiggles, the strip club that opened up in the old Giggles Comedy Club space with a one-letter name change as if nobody would notice -- I came here for comedy, but I guess naked ladies will do? more ›

Casey McNerthney took a break from answering your questions about driving while texting and Four Loko today to add an interesting piece from the archives to the Seattle PI's Big Blog, regarding the University Village's history. Here's the long and short of it: more ›

The Seattle PostGlobe's recent plea for funding very nearly reads like a script produced for an NPR pledge drive, minus all the cool giveaways. Free swag aside, the news site has re-sounded the alarm, reporting they have only one week of funding remaining in their reserves...and leaving us to wonder whether this time next week we will have to ask what the Seattle Post-Intelligencer ex-pats will be doing post-PostGlobe? more ›

We often say that the Times comment section specializes in crazy, but this weekend's post on the P-I.com heralding their site redesign has prompted a whole bunch of commentating goodness. The complaints vary, from "too much white space" to "too much focus on blogs" to "too many ads." As always, readers like the previous incarnation better, with some faux-threatening legal action ("I want to sue the Seattle P-I and get an injunction forcing them to bring back their old look."), while others claim they will no longer use the P-I, in favor of the Times. Now that's crazy. more ›

Not so fast on the Mayor Nickels-bashing, claims the P-I. Turns out charges that he costs the city by not playing well with Olympia may be overblown, because Seattle’s legislators aren’t very good at helping Seattle themselves. more ›
