Happy Seattlest reader Tim sent us a note yesterday about the contrast on the covers of Seattle's glossies, Seattle Magazine and Seattle Metropolitan. The two get dinged for not being distinguishable, but this month at least they have their editorial sights set on vastly different horizons. Yet maybe we can see an underlying similarity still: Seattle Mag seems to be feeling anxious and looking for relaxation, while Seattle Met is dealing with anxiety by turning to a huge fucking cookie. Just out of curiosity, where's the Seattle glossy that gets anxious and fixates on sex? Or is that huge fucking cookie just a stand-in?

The voter-approved Death With Dignity act, known as Initiative 1000 in November 's election, means that hospitals now have to figure out how to implement the new law--or if they want to offer the option at all. So far, Harborview and the UW Medical Center are the two major hospitals in Seattle who have decided to participate, meaning their physicians would provide the life-ending medication and would be present during the dose administration. It looks like many of the state's hospices will not be formally participating, but would still work with patients and their families who could obtain the prescription elsewhere before and after the act itself.
