Fashion, ballet, chai tea and paddleboard yoga — our favorite stories from 2011.
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.
Authentic scotch cuisine arrives in Ballard.
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. Along with good friend and namesake, Allen Macleod (a native of Edinburgh, Scotland), the trio christened Macleod’s Scottish Pub just last week.
Celebrate with a special menu at one of the city’s finest restaurants.
New Year’s Eve typically entails lots of food, drink and Dick Clark’s live broadcast from Times Square — but what if you changed your homebody routine this year? Several of Seattle’s finest dining establishments will ring in 2012 with special menus and festive entertainment.
Our culinary duo visits one of the Eastside’s most upscale eateries.
Jon: If there were was ever a restaurant/bar that encapsulated what the Bellevue scene is all about, it’s Pearl. Sleek lines and a simple color scheme of silver and black complement the eatery’s lively staff, locally sourced menu and educated wine list. With these expectations, Erin and I once again
The Progressive International Motorcycle Show rolls into town.
This weekend, the Washington State Convention Center will host the Seattle leg of the Progressive International Motorcycle Show. The exposition series kicked off last month in San Mateo, Calif., and is scheduled to visit 11 U.S. cities before the final pit-stop in Daytona Beach, Fla., in March 2012.
Satisfy that nagging craving for (more) ink at one of these eclectic tattoo parlors.
Not having a tattoo in Seattle is like living in Los Angeles without sunglasses. The problem is, tattoo shops are as pervasive as Starbucks — but the quality is not as consistent.

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!
