We took the I-5 Mercer Street/Seattle Center exit the other night and while waiting for the light to change, we noticed ten--a seemingly abnormal amount--construction cranes littering the South Lake Union neighborhood. (Yes, some probably dedicated to building the new Amazon HQ.) more ›

A few years back, we braved a soccer match between two top flight teams in Buenos Aires. A 'super-classico' as they call it. Barbed wire and riot police ringed the field and more than once a cannon was fired. The tension was palpable. Early in the match, the visiting goalkeeper was hit in the head with what the papers later reported was a keychain. Bleeding, the goalkeeper was stitched up on the sidelines and his head was wrapped up Frankenstein style. Later, with the game scoreless, the visiting team was awarded a penalty shot. The coach waved at the goalkeeper, and as the home crowd lost their collective minds, the goalkeeper trotted down, took the shot, scored, then proceeded to jog back to his net, flipping off the crowd the entire length of the field. He spent the rest of the night tucked under his goal, with a big grin, we imagine. more ›

In heaven, apparently, there's a place called Seattle. It takes a remarkable photographer to get a camera into heaven, so props to Capn Surly. More shots like this are floating around in the clouds above our Flickr pool—take a look for yourself. more ›

Holy crap, that's lovely. And our Flickr pool is chock full of loveliness. more ›

We probably don't have to tell you how awesome Vintage Seattle is. But they've outdone themselves today, posting their "most epic Seattle skyline Panorama-o-rama" yet. It's a glorious 5-mile view of the Seattle skyline back when the Alaska Building was the tallest building in town—and yes, we had to look that up. (Then came the Hoge Building, then Smith Tower, for all you architecture wonks.) more ›
