Rearview Mirror: Jimothy Fever, a Fresh Art Fair, and Goodies in Woodinville
Things I did, saw, ate, learned, or read in the past week (or so).
Unofficial mascot mug Really, is there anything else worth talking about right now? Jimothy has been in the collective consciousness for a little more than two weeks now, and I—along with most everyone I know, the entire city, half of the country, and a slice of the world—am obsessed with him. I don’t know if…
A Spa for People Who Are Bad at Relaxing
Circle Wellness is bringing its private thermal circuit to Seattle, where a calm voice keeps time so you don’t have to.
From the outside, Circle Wellness does not look like a spa. It looks like the sort of large black structure you might hesitate to enter without first texting someone your coordinates. I arrived at its Vancouver, B.C., location on an unusually warm June afternoon and found no windows, almost no signage, and one massive steel…
Why I Built a Pickleball Club With My Daughter
My father showed me how to turn my love of sports into something lasting. Pickle at the Palms carries that lesson forward.
Looking back, I wouldn’t say my family teaming up to launch Pickle at the Palms—a new 20-court indoor pickleball club—was inevitable, but it may have been predictable. Sports have shaped my life for more than 50 years. I fell in love with rowing as a 17-year-old college freshman and went on to compete on two…

Rearview Mirror: Storytellers in Clay, Wild Seattle, and an Alaskan Feast I’ll Never Forget
Things I did, saw, ate, learned, or read in the past week (or so).
CLAY RELATIONS I went to see the Seattle Asian Art Museum’s new Kondō family exhibit expecting beautiful ceramics, and there are plenty. What I didn’t expect was a fascinating story that starts with samurai. Long before pottery became the family trade, earlier generations guarded Kiyomizudera, a historic Buddhist temple in Kyoto. That role vanished when…

Industry Entrées
Seattle’s newest spots to eat, drink, and gather with friends.
Roma Roma Capitol Hill It seems like roman-style pizza keeps trying to catch on in this town, then disappearing, then popping back up in a fresh incarnation. (See also: Pizza by Ruffin, the recently departed Sacro Bosco, and the long-departed Bar Taglio.) At 12th and Olive, Roma Roma is the latest attempt. The skipped-over element…

Ferry Tales: Eight Indie Bookstores Worth the Ride
Plan a summer day around these bookshops in Seattle, Bremerton, Bainbridge Island, Kingston, and Poulsbo.
Independent bookstores tend to be cornerstones of the communities in which they reside, and Seattle is no exception. In addition to helping customers discover their next read, these neighborhood hubs host weekly gatherings and events, like publication release parties, author talks, and book clubs. Many of them have cafés and reading tables that encourage lingering…
Rearview Mirror: Seattle Art Fair is Back, Nordstrom Throws a Block Party, and a Must-Try Ice Cream Sundae
Things I did, saw, ate, learned, or read in the past week (or so).
SEATTLE ART FAIR RETURNS The buzziest event of the summer (well, aside from the World Cup), is returning next week. Now in its 10th edition, the Seattle Art Fair will once again take over the Lumen Field Event Center, packing it to the gills with art from 101 local, national, and international galleries. This year,…
