What Will Happen to the Old Olympia Brewery?
The deed restriction forbidding the production of alcohol at the old Olympia Brewery in Tumwater, Wash., has been officially lifted. So what does that mean for the vacant (and troubled) site? We love the idea of another brewing company scooping it up and resuscitating it back to beer-brewing life, but Washington Beer Blog blogger and…
Oh Happy Day: DOMA Is No More
Three cheers to the U.S. Supreme Court for ruling the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) unconstitutional. As everyone gears up for an extra special Pride weekend (the 39th annual Pride Parade marches down 4th Avenue on Sunday, June 30), I think it’s important to know exactly how each of the justices voted. King 5 has…

Seattle magazine Father’s Day Instagram Contest
After our successful (and extremely adorable) Mother’s Day Instagram Photo Contest, we decided to do it again for Father’s Day. Starting now through Sunday, June 16, snap an Instagram photo of you and your dad (or dads: you and your kids) out and about at your favorite Seattle spot (think restaurant, park, shop, sporting event,…
Watch Seattle Public Library’s Impressive Book Domino Chain
After seven hours and four partially victorious attempts, the Seattle Public Library managed to successfully complete a complex, weaving and winding book domino chain with 2,131 books. Credit is still pending from RecordSetter as to whether or not it actually set the world record for longest book domino chain. (The previous record used a meager…
Multiple Fast Food Restaurant Strikes Planned for Today
After an employee walked off the job last night at a Ballard Taco Bell (the restaurant closed two hours early due to short staffing, The Stranger reports), Seattle is facing citywide strikes today at dozens of chains including Burger King, McDonald’s, Subway and Arby’s. Fast food workers have launched the “Good Jobs Seattle” movement, which…

Decoding Annie Parker at SIFF
Back in January, we wrote a story about Dr. Mary-Claire King, the pioneering Seattle geneticist who discovered the breast cancer gene, a groundbreaking finding that garnered some serious Hollywood attention. King is the subject of the new movie, Decoding Annie Parker, a Steven Bernstein film starring actress Helen Hunt as King and Samantha Morton as…
There Will be Beer: A Cruise That’s Worth Booking
Cruises of all kinds scare me: Caribbean cruises, Mediterranean cruises, European cruises, Tom and Suri Cruise. I did a quick search on Carnival Cruise Lines’ website and found you can take a “Cruise to Nowhere” for a mere $329. To nowhere. Sorry, but that sounds just plain terrifying. So when I heard about this eight-day,…

And the Winners of the Mother’s Day Instagram Contest Are…
It was a thrill every time a photo popped up in our Instagram feed with @Seattlemag #MothersDayPics. We loved seeing our readers and social media follwers getting out around town and celebrating with Mom. (And that rain that was predicted for Mother’s Day? Pshaw.) It was a tough choice, but we combed through the submissions…
