🛣 Are you smarter than a Seattle street?

Plus: The mayor reveals her initial budget for 2021.

It’s Wednesday! 

Normally I wouldn’t be so psyched about that, but the sun has me feeling all sorts of ways. That and there seems to be more stuff to be excited over right now. Some examples, if you’re skeptical:

  1. This is now old news, but the Storm clinched their ticket to the WNBA finals. The last thre

Today is th

It’s Thursday, we’re almost to the end of another week. 

In an incident that is very on track with this year’s running list of bad things happening —  a semi-truck went off the roadway at the southbound I-5 express lanes near Mercer Street. The driver, fortunately, only had minor injuries and no other vehicles were involved.

📢 Welcome to Anarchy (AKA Seattle)

Plus: Community fridges are helping fight food insecurity.

Happy Tuesday. 

I hope everyone enjoyed the last few smoke-free days of summer ’cause we are now officially in fall.

While it’ll definitely be a weird autumn — Halloween and Thanksgiving celebrations will look very different — at least we can take comfort in the fact it won’t be long till we can pull out our sweaters, drink tea, and look forlornly out the window as we listen to our saddest music (there’s a reason why grunge was born here).

  1. This playlist of Motown hits.read more

🍔 Two more reasons why Dick’s is better than In-N-Out

Plus: Dozens of Seattle’s bridges are ‘concerning’.

Welcome to Wednesday. It’s another hump day and we’ve got a newsletter to help you get through it.

It may be looking better outside — no dystopian orange/red skies — but the air is still very much unhealthy. Don’t expect that to improve till Thursday at the earliest.

And now to the news, including some exciting stuff from our favorite

🌫️ Cleanse the air in your home with a DIY filter fan

Plus: Pier 58 is no more.

Happy Tuesday folks. It’s another smoky one.

The promise of rain was supposed to await us today but alas it appears that we may have another week of trying to minimize outdoors time due to air quality. Yesterday the air quality was equivalent to smoking seven cigarettes, yikes! 😬

Today happens to mark the first day of Lat
