Nestled in the heart of Belltown, Peter Miller brings an eclectic and intelligent element to its busy, pedestrian-filled location. Specializing in architectural texts and literature for the last 34 years, this hidden gem of a bookstore still has the same allure to structural design enthusiasts as it did the very day it opened.
Dear Seattleite Readers,
Welcome to the Seattleite Book Club – the only virtual book club that spotlights the Pacific Northwest’s own authors and publishing houses!
Everybody knows bourbon is a type of whiskey (we hope). However, did you know that all true bourbons are distilled in Bourbon County, Kentucky? Or that a Baptist Minister named Elijah Craig is (supposedly) credited with making the first batch of this classic American spirit in the late 18th century?
It’s hard to walk by Paperhaus on First Avenue and not gawk at the modular desk sets, ultramodern furniture, stylish personal accessories and vast collection of hand-held implements. With design and functionality in mind, Seattleite picked some of our favorite pieces to complement your office space, whether it’s downtown or in your guest bedroom.
By this time every year, Seattleites are longing for some flowers and sunshine to brighten up the overcast days. Rather than wait for Mother Nature to get her act together, feel free to make your own spring color using Marimekko‘s vibrant designs.
If you are looking to fill the space left behind by your previous sofa, there are several options available to you. You might choose a traditional couch, an angled seating arrangement or a pair of matching recliners – the possibilities are many. Or, if you’re the indecisive type, a new SOSIA sofa might be just what you need.
Opera lovers and fashionistas alike will have reason to applaud this spring. For several nights in May, the Seattle Opera will be ending its 2010 and 2011 season with a performance of the Magic Flute.
