Arts Spotlight: Producer Jennifer Roth
Producer Jennifer Roth may be Seattle’s greatest hope for expanding the city into a hotbed of film
Aside from a framed poster for the movie The Wrestler, nothing about Jennifer Roth’s modest North Capitol Hill home hints that she’s a wildly successful movie producer. Nor does her appearance suggest Hollywood movie maven—at age 47, she allows her gray hair to be just that, and her shoes? Understated and sensible. At home on…

They’re massive. Magical. Magnificent. Mountains inevitably put us in our place, and in Seattle, it’
We’ve all asked (and answered) the classic vacation question: The mountains or the shore? As it happens, we feel strongly both ways. But after publishing our Ultimate Coast Guide three years ago, we knew we had created an obvious imperative. And so we present our paean to Washington’s magnificent mountains. Why?

Wine Week from Heaven
A jaunt to Vancouver is a trip around the wine world
I never need an excuse to go to Vancouver, but this is the best one I can think of. The Playhouse International Wine Festival takes place every year in late March, and this was my second—and favorite–visit. I stayed at the hip Opus Hotel, a sweet little gem just off the café-and-club-filled brick side streets of the Yaletown…
