RockCreek Is Chef Eric Donnelly’s Labor of Love
We’re used to seeing chefs breaking a sweat, but it’s usually on the line in the kitchen. Last weekend, I spotted chef Eric Donnelly doing some serious manual labor on his new restaurant, RockCreek. It’s tucked behind Uneeda Burger, which is where I was heading for a salted caramel shake. (Yes, it was every sip…

The Crowded Mayoral Primary Slate
Seattleites have shown that they are not in the least bit afraid to toss out an incumbent
This year’s mayor’s race has attracted a large group of challengers; at least eight candidates want to replace Mayor Mike McGinn, who is running for reelection. That number reflects a sense that McGinn is vulnerable, and that should come as no surprise. He began the campaign with low approval ratings. And, historically, Seattleites have shown…

Seven Things (Not) to Do in Seattle This Summer
With so much to do this time of year, Knute Berger suggests leaving a few things off your list
1. Avoid artisanal ice cream.It’s a challenge to keep the taste buds of the creative class from getting bored. Seattle ice cream makers offer up all kinds of exotic flavors for foodies: lavender, beet, bacon, squid ink. I’m sure the kids are just begging for a double scoop of purple yam ripple! My advice—whether you…
Scout Apparel to Close
Edie’s Shoes/Scout Apparel owner Erin Dolan has announced the closure of Scout mid-June due to the re-imagining of the block on which her shops live.

Restaurant Inside Baseball: How (Exactly) Greg Atkinson Opened Marché Bainbridge
Most of us fall into one of two groups. There are the daydreamers, who fantasize about opening a bakery, cafe, bistro or restaurant of their very own one day. They imagine the space, the tables and chairs, the lighting, and of course what kind of food they’d serve. The other group generally thinks people in…
Shop News: Hip Zephyr is on the Move
After almost seven years, Phinney Ridge’s Hip Zephyr is moving to Mercer Island (2727 78th Ave. SE) this June. The tiny 350 square-foot shop, which carries a nice selection of denim, and other casual wear, including many brands not found elsewhere in town, is moving to a 1,200 square-foot space recently vacated by What to…
Designer Consignment: MB’s Finds
I don’t need to try to convince you to shop consignment. Either you do or you don’t. Personally, I love it, mostly because I can get high-quality goods for less money and currently I’m in a more-is-more phase of wardrobe building. Which is why I’m excited to check out Mary-Bridget Pehl’s online consignment shop, MB’s…
