Fuji Bakery Wants to Open a Third Location, Any Suggestions?
Brioche, baguette and everything in between at Fuji Bakery
Since its opening in the summer of 2009, Fuji Bakery has delighted us with treats like the crisp, buttery green tea Danish and light, creamy brioche chocolat. Food editor Allison Scheff raved about Fuji in our February issue, and since then the accolades have been piling up. With two locations serving up the International District…
Food Event: Catch a “Bizarre Foods” Taping in Seattle and Get a Taste of “Black Gold”
Coffee heads take note: Seattle Coffee Works is serving up FREE samples of Columbia Cup of Excellenc
Coffee heads take note: Seattle Coffee Works is serving up FREE samples of Colombia Cup of Excellence–a coffee that typically goes for $100 a pound–this Friday at 1 p.m. Why pour the good stuff for free? It might have something to do with the fact that Andrew Zimmern, the wild and hungry TV personality–with a…
Five Essentials: Maintaining Healthy Summer Skin in Seattle
August is Seattle’s month to have fun in the sun. There are endless opportunities for being active on the water, in the mountains, or on a beach but summertime play and the associated heat can bring a number of risks, too. It’s important to plan ahead and take precautions against dehydration, sunburn, and pesky bugs….
Eat Rural at Local Farm Dinners
My ultimate dream of living off five acres of lush organically-farmed land (preferably in southern France) surrounded by happy farm animals who are all friends and adore me even though I’m going to someday eat them has yet to become a reality. So until then, I’m just going to have to invite myself over to…
Behind the Scenes of our August Issue: Don’t Even Get Me Started
Finally, a second summer day, just in time to make our August “water play” issue slightly less irritating to caged-up water geeks. Sure, it was fun to dream up dozens of pages of fun water stuff for the issue—from wakeboarding to houseboat-gawking to surfing, rafting and more—but that all started in March; back then, when…
Fashion + Style Friday: Favorite fall finds from the editor’s desk
As we finish up our fall fashion and shopping issue this week, I seem to have accumulated quite a few pretty things on my desk, which will appear throughout the September issue. And while I am going to make you wait on the other 50 finds until the issue comes out, here’s a sneak peek…
Edge Meets Value at Bellevue’s Black Bottle Postern
Industrial and unfussy, the Eastside's outpost of the Belltown original is worth a visit.
With soaring 30-foot ceilings and booths that sit along an expanse of windows, Black Bottle Postern wouldn’t seem half as edgy if it weren’t for its locale: smack dab in shiny new Bellevue. The crowd here is also a bit of a departure for the city; sure, you’ve got your besuited tall, dark and handsomes…
Brave Horse Tavern, a Fun and Noisy Pub
Tom Douglas's rowdy beer hall, where the food's better than it needs to be.
South Lake Union is a neighborhood that barely existed five years ago, and so we’ve watched as the essentials have been checked off steadily over the years. Good coffee at Vivace. Check! Cozy lunch spots: Nollie’s, Yellow Dot, Row House Cafe. Check! And now, thanks to Tom Douglas, we can check rowdy college pub (for…
Uneeda Burger is Addictive
Burgers and more with an eye on every detail.
I’ve been waiting since deep, dark winter, when Uneeda Burger opened, to plant myself on its sunset-facing patio on a warm summer night. With a burger made from local meat topped with, say, roasted chile relish, pepper jack cheese and cilantro (that’s the Sonora, $8) and a pint of Odin’s ruby ale, it’d be tough…

2010 Spotlight Award: Macklemore
Mr. Clean: Hip-hop artist Macklemore makes the personal lyrical.
If traditional hip-hop lyrics are to be taken at their word, a rapper’s true nature is embodied in his car. So what does Macklemore drive? A Prius. Though the 28-year-old Seattle native, whose legal name is Ben Haggerty, jokingly worries it’ll ruin his street cred, the eco status symbol on wheels is an apt reflection…
