Guest author Antonio Garguile is a Seattle area lawyer who explains some of the excuses (that never work) when trying to get out of a DUI.
We have all heard them, some of us have thought them, and in 2016 alone over 23,000 drivers in Washington State likely used them. Simply put, when it comes to drunk driving, cops have heard them all before and are actively looking for a reason to pull you over. It’s time to put these excuses to bed where they belong.
Located just 80 miles from Seattle nestled amongst the Cascade Mountains, Suncadia is the perfect lovers escape this February with its ‘Sweetheart Saturdays’ events.

Topgolf has yet to open in Seattle (there’s one just outside of Portland and it’s awesome), but they’re bringing their unique social experience to Safeco Field for a limited time next year! From February 17-20, take your swing at crushing golf balls from the stands into targets on the outfield.
Night Shift has teamed up with Nike Football to curate a special party tomorrow night (Wednesday) in Pioneer Square. Think of it as a dance party to prefunk Thursday night’s Seahawks game.

It’s about the time to start thinking about holiday lists. Gilt City’s warehouse sale, one of the most indulgent shopping parties of the season, is coming to Seattle for the first time!

One of Seattle’s most beloved holiday traditions returned for the Sheraton Seattle Hotel’s 24th Annual Gingerbread Village.

The unforgettable event keeps more than 150,000 visitors coming back year after year.
The last time we featured RAD AND HUNGRY (RAH), an online shop selling lo-fi office supplies locally sourced from around the world, was in its early days in 2011. Since then, this local company has expanded and flourished. Dedicated to connecting people and cultures though common office supplies and uncommon design, the RAH team travels the globe and hand-picks supplies that provide a first-hand glimpse into that country’s culture and design aesthetic. Whenever possible, RAH collaborates with local makers—craftsmen, screenprinters, designers and more—to create custom products.
