Can you believe it’s been a whole year since “Seattleite” launched? We can’t either — and we want to thank all our loyal readers, gracious industry colleagues and awesome interviewees for your amazing support and encouragement. To commemorate this milestone, here is a look back at our 10 finest features from 2011.
James Weimann and Deming Maclisse are once again adding a new establishment to their already impressive resume — the pair also owns Bastille Café & Bar and Poquitos.

Hello Seattleites!
Starting today, we’re going to try something new. In order to bring you even more great party pics and keep the ads to a minimum, we will charge a small amount for access to some Seattleite photo galleries — not much, just 25 or 50¢. We’re working with TinyPass to make the payment process quick and painless. It takes just a few clicks to drop a dollar or two into your account, then use that balance to easily access all of the premium photo galleries.
And we’re especially excited about this first gallery of photos from the One Day’s Wages gala last week because Seattleite is donating 100 percent of the proceeds back to ODW — a great organization based here in Seattle that’s working to alleviate global poverty. Click the blue button below to see six more pages of photos.
So enjoy the photos, and thanks for supporting Seattleite and One Day’s Wages!
