Even though he’s in real estate now, Billy Poll says he feels like he grew up in the restaurant industry. The longtime Schwartz Bros employee is now one of the owners of the soon-to-open Grace Kitchen at the University Village.

A Guide to Seattle Pick-up Games, For When You Feel Like Playing
There are plenty of no-strings-attached sports in Seattle that you can play on a drop-in basis.
In this entrepreneurial town, we like to do things on our own time and that includes being active. Whether there’s one last work project that can’t wait or The Bachelorette conflicts with your Monday night tennis league, having a weekly team sport commitment just doesn’t always jive with our free-spirit attitude. Perhaps that’s why Seattle has such a…
Revel: Genius Food In a Silvery Sleek Space
Allison Austin Scheff gives nod to another spectacular winner from Rachel Yang and Seif Chirchi.
Sometimes, it’s easy to fall into “other city” envy. What’s not to like about Portland’s utopian indie scene, Vancouver’s dim sum and Japanese food, Chicago’s thrilling modern cooking, New York’s delis, bagels—everything?

Wild Salmon at Etta’s
Allison Scheff devours Etta’s early season salmon.
In June, the Pike Place Market comes fully alive: Vendors’ tables are crowded with grassy snap peas, ruby red and golden beets, and bundles of fragrant sweet pea flowers (just $5). And, of course, there’s that one item you’ve been waiting for all year: chubby early-season wild salmon, glistening on ice at every one of…
