It may not be The Sopranos, but the story of a body dump in broad daylight in South Seattle yesterday is becoming increasingly strange. Police arrested and booked a suspect this morning and the suspect is now under investigation for murder. The victim was a white man in his 60s who appeared to have medical or surgical instruments and tubes still attached to his body. Some reports say he also had a belt around his......

If The Sopranos took place in Seattle, we always imagined the mob haunts would be in industrial south Seattle, with the Bada Bing on Airport Way South.

However, a quick check at the Fonk site indicated that the office had only moved to a newlocation. As a result, because of Fonk's horn-blowing slogan, we imagine their old neighbors are relieved to have them gone, just as their new neighbors are probably preparing a lawsuit. In any......

Who are the 11:30pm girls? What: Via Tribunali When: Wed, Feb 2, 8pm Eight pm on a Wednesday and there is a line out the door. Our party of five is told we have a 45-minute wait, but exactly 45 minutes later, we’re sitting at a cozy table, starving and excited. The water used for cooking is imported from Italy; the pizzamaker (the pizzaiolo) is imported from Italy; the water used for cooking is quadruple......
