Best & Worst of 2013: Seattle’s Memorable Social Media Moments
Tweets, Instagrams, blogs, vlogs and other Internet-based modes Seattleites used
AWKWARD MOMENTS IN SOCIAL MEDIACoffee with a Side of Snark: Local barista Matt Watson discovers nothing on the Interwebz can ever truly be anonymous when Bitter Barista, his secret satirical (and oft mean-spirited) blog that poked fun at patrons and his boss at Georgetown’s All City Coffee, was outed by a rival coffee blog. Watson…
Happy Holidays from Seattle magazine
Starting tomorrow, December 24, the editors at Seattle magazine will be taking some well-deserved time off to be with family and friends and enjoy the holiday. (We hope you’re doing the same.) As such, Seattlemag.com will be taking a slight breather from regular blog and article posts. However, dear reader, that does not mean we’re…
High-Style Tiles from Ann Sacks
Whether it’s a Native American–inspired pattern hand-painted on terra-cotta or a simple rounded-edge ceramic style, tile is a smart way to add personality and flair to virtually any room. We’re swooning over the latest lot from Portland-based tile and stone sanctuary Ann Sacks, which relocated its downtown showroom last fall to a 2,880-square-foot, natural-light-filled space…
Nine Beers We No Longer Drink
When was the last time you sat down and had a nice, ice-cold Budweiser? Like 2007, right? According to this piece in USA Today, beer (and when they say beer, they mean the moderately priced, mass-produced, watery schlock that we all downed in college) is just not selling the way it used to. What’s the…
No Room for Your Wine Collection? Give this Local Wine Storing and Delivery Service a Spin
Store your wine off-site and have it delivered by courier directly to your door
If you’ve managed to amass a large wine collection (some would suggest you’re just not drinking it fast enough, but we digress) and don’t have space for a climate-controlled, cave-like room where it can properly age, Georgetown’s Phenol55 may provide that subterranean solution. The full-service wine-storing biz offers the works when it comes to cellaring…
UPDATE: BREW Seattle is Officially Sold Out
Tickets for Seattle magazine’s first ever BREW Seattle, a beer tasting festival featuring more than 20 local breweries, officially went on sale on Thursday, October 10. Your $40 pass to the November 14 event earns you six tasting tokens that are each good for a five-ounce pour (in your own special BREW seattle mini mug!)…
It’s National Cat Day: Snuggles For All Via Uber
I wake each morning to two very needy and talkative and pouncy felines, so every day happens to be Cat Day for me. But if you are lacking a kitten presence in your life (are you mad?!), then today in honor of National Cat Day, Uber, along with Cheezburger and the Seattle Humane Society, is…
Fall Fun: Red Tricycle’s Roundup of Pumpkin Patches Near Seattle
While some of us can’t resist the heaps of orange and white gourds at the nearby (read: easily accessible) grocery stores (I piled my cart high weeks ago with knobby and gnarled squashes, fat green pumpkins and oversized orange ones destined for my sub-par carving skills), there are plenty of people who love a good…
Cinerama Gets the World’s First Commercial Digital Laser Projector
Cinerama theater beams up to the future
If Paul Allen owns something like, say, a movie theater, you can bet that it’s going to be the best, most newfangled theater in all the land. Case in point: his 1960s-era, saved-from-demolition Cinerama in Belltown, which is slated to install the world’s first commercial digital laser projector in early 2014. The super-high-tech machine has…
Canceled: Fireside Beer Tastings at Pan Pacific Hotel
We just received word that this Fireside series at the Pan Pacific Hotel has been canceled, effective immediately. Where to snuggle up fireside with a sampling of local brews? The Pan Pacific Hotel in South Lake Union has partnered with the Washington Beer Blog (helmed by Seattle magazine contributor and brewski expert Kendall Jones) on…

Your Daily Decor Squee: The MissoniHome Annual Sale
Come October 14, we’ll be making a mad dash to Roche Bobois, the super luxe French furniture haven on Western Avenue, for the annual MissoniHome sale.
