If you bought a lottery ticket at a 7-11 in Shoreline last month--and just haven't bothered to check the numbers yet—DO! Because you just might have a scrap of paper floating around with nearly $10 million. A single winner has yet to claim their $9.7 million in winnings from July 26th's state lotto. You have 180 days to claim a winning lotto ticket, but with current interest rates, every month you wait to claim your......

Seattlest and The Stranger have had disagreements of opinion concerning the quality or fucking lack of quality at certain Seattle taco trucks. In this week's print Stranger, though, there is a statement of fact regarding the highly-hyped tamales at the Rancho Bravo truck in Wallingford that cannot be disputed, and should be highlighted: They never have tamales at Rancho Bravo. Seattlest has taken to ordering them defensively, hopefully, and as an add-on but never......

Wednesday morning, Route 301 from Shoreline to downtown Seattle. Waiting patiently, sweating profusely, standing on an over-crowded bus yet again. It's been in the news many times this year. Ridership is up. And with gas prices as they are, we expect the number of people riding will only climb higher. Back in 2006, King County Executive Ron Sims announced a plan to deliver "up to 21 million more annual bus rides within 10 years." Transit......

"What did you do on Saturday?" Always with a smile, we've asked--and have been asked--this question many many times today. It seems everyone around us is genuinely interested and excited to hear what we were up to during our glorious sunny Saturday. Us? Once we finished mowing the lawn for the first time this year, we packed a sandwich, a book, some tunes, a thermos of Tanqueray & tonic, and biked down to Richmond Beach......

For those who don't know, the city of Shoreline lies just beyond the northern city limits of Seattle. Incorporated in 1995, Shoreline has an approximate population of 54,000 -- just shy of Cheyenne, Wyoming's 55,000. Shoreline's chief import is twenty-something first-time home owners while the chief export is the snow which flies off of our Subaru Outbacks and Foresters as we cruise down I-5 toward downtown Seattle. Here are some shots of the winter wonderland......

"I don’t venture north of even the cut, unless provoked." So said one Seattlest contributor when we asked what inspires us to turn our backs on downtown and drive north. Wimp. What counts as northern Seattle? We don't mean "North Seattle" -- the U District, Ballard, Fremont. We mean northern Seattle -- north of 85th, city limits until 1954. We fudged a bit, including a few places between the city limits and King-Sno county line.......
