A Shift in the Work Environment: Density is the New Incubator
Knute Berger asks, where does the mother of invention live?
Seattle is widely considered an inventive city. We rank 13th in the world when it comes to “patent intensity,” the ratio of patent applications compared to the city’s population. And, the University of Washington recently reported it now ranks among the top five American educational institutions that incubate new businesses by parlaying research into commercial…

Seattle’s Thriving Hard Cider Scene
Seattle Cider Company and Capitol Cider are ripening into the apples of Seattle’s eye
It’s surprising that, with its deep, rich history, hard cider hasn’t had a more prominent place in the artisan drinking revolution. As we’ve reached into the past for cocktail influences, cider has been a bit overlooked, especially considering it was the premier Colonial beverage. But recently, a bevy of small-batch cider makers are crushing it,…

TanakaSan Chef Cooks with Bonito Flakes
Eric Tanaka adds a dash of delicate delight to Pan-Asian dishes with bonito flakes
Say hello to bonito flakes. They’re waving at you, perched on an Osaka Pancake at the newest Tom Douglas restaurant, TanakaSan. The heat from the savory pancake—a variation on traditional okonomiyaki made with cabbage, scallion and shrimp—causes the delicate fish shavings to sway. So, it’s kind of like dinner and a show. Bonito flakes are…

Fans Hoping to Reach Record Noise Levels at Seahawks’ Home Opener
The Seahawks have Seattle so excited that fans could just scream (their way to a world record)
Not since 2001, when the Mariners turned western Washington into Brigadoon, has Seattle been this jazzed. Expectations for the 2013 Seahawks are so giddily off the charts that Russell Wilson will be elected mayor of Seattle as soon as he authorizes the write-in campaign. Last year, Wilson proved that he’s the real deal among NFL…

Joint Venture
With I-502 now in effect, Seattle has become ground zero for the state’s recreational pot market
Jim Willett has never smoked pot. His teenage sons think he’s a square. A former Navy pilot, he spent a year doing drug interdiction flights along the Washington coast, checking for ships carrying bales of marijuana. For the graying retiree, voting against the state’s legalization of recreational weed (Initiative 502) was pretty much a given….
