There’s a long, strange story behind that statue. And not everyone wants it gone. Is it an offensive memorial? Provocative public art? Is this all a big distraction? Join the debate here…
The moon’s putting on a show next week, and us earthlings are going crazy for it. We’ve rounded up everything you need to know about Monday’s total solar eclipse into an easy, breezy cheat sheet, including: The best places to see it in Seattle, where to find those elusive solar vision glasses, and the best resources for checking cloud cover and figuring out when the action starts in your zip code. 👉 Check it out here.
Something we love to do here at The Evergrey is to give you free stuff — whether it’s tickets to a fun event, gift cards to local businesses, or a wine and dine night out downtown. (Congrats again, Carolyn! Hope you liked the Cutters Crabhouse dinner and Unexpected Productions tix!)

Evergrey reader Nate Tepp got his inked, right up front.
Chad Hartgrave at Hidden Hand Tattoo in Fremont sketched and inked it (he’s adding color soon), and here’s why Nate got it: “I’ve either been playing or coaching or broadcasting or running big basketball tournaments my entire life,” he said. “So for my first tattoo I wanted to combine some of the things in my life that define me.” Dig the style? Chad will be at the Seattle Tattoo Expo this weekend. 🙌
See you next week. — The Evergrey
