Enter today for your chance to win a trip for you and a friend tomorrow!

I still remember anxiously going to bed and waking up early to peek outside to see if snow had really fallen (per Seattle forecast—often wrong) and if school would be cancelled. I’d turn on the TV and watch as the schools scrolled by—would we have a delay or even better—would we get a snow day?! This mix of anticipation and joy is something that we don’t get as often anymore… until today!

Bell + Whete welcomes Jenny Izaguirre (ease-uh-ghee-ray) as their new Executive Chef.

Jenny is replacing Stew Navarre, who will be focusing on sister restaurant Local 360, with occasional collaborations at Bell + Whete. On top of being a talented chef, Jenny has a dynamic, warm personality and a fierce passion for food. She hails from Honduras and is a CIA graduate with nearly 10 years under her belt at various Four Seasons properties around the country. She speaks fluent Spanish, English and basic French and Turkish. We had the pleasure to hang out with Jenny and try some of her dishes last week.

JINGLE BELL RUN/WALK 5K | DECEMBER 13, 2015

The cut-off to register online for this event is TOMORROW, December 10th, so grab your crew and sign up ASAP! We’ve done this race several times and it’s one of the most spirited and fun holiday events in Seattle! Plus, you get a little exercise in, which really just means you get to order that side of french toast with your eggs benedict. The run/walk benefits the Arthritis Foundation.

Special perks for 12s during Seahawks season.

As you may know, American Express partnered with the Seahawks earlier this season (it’s the first existing NFL sponsorship of this scale) to provide a number of different benefits for Card Members and the 12s, including Gridiron Radios (like the ones at the US Open), free Section 12 pre-game experience at Occidental Park, Blue Friday offers with surprise player appearances and others.

New Seattleites here to make essensuals London synonymous with affordable luxury

“Hair follows fashion and Seattle is a fashionable city,” say the owners of essensuals London, Capitol Hill’s newest boutique hair salon.

“Seattle’s massive music scene is a major contributor to Seattle’s fashion. I think people from Seattle aren’t moving to New York or LA anymore to focus on fashion – instead, they are choosing to stay in Seattle and make their home town cool.”

These were just some motivating factors that led the Townsend brothers to relocate from San Diego to Seattle and open essensuals London.
