Don’t be surprised if there’s a bit of a line, but the wait is worth it. Pi Day is the busiest day for Pie Bar all year. Last year, the very adorable co-owner
Stateside is a new French Vietnamese restaurant at the base of Capitol Hill opened by chef/owner Eric Johnson. The wood furniture, distressed blue walls and ceiling fans is a sultry mix of old and new. It feels like a secret escape from the humidity of the tropical heat outside. The atmosphere is airy and
Pi Day happens every year on 3.14. However, this year, it is 3.14.15. It must be celebrated! Savory or sweet, everyone needs to consume some pie this Saturday.

Sure, a recent heat wave and string of azure-skied days have filled Seattle’s trails and parks with hordes of eager sun worshippers. It’s been glorious. Yet we must remind ourselves of one undeniable fact: It’s only February; technically, summer’s still a long way off.
Kona Kai Resort & Marina is nestled on Shelter Island in the Point Loma neighborhood of San Diego. The drive on/off island is just over a mile long and only a few hundred feet wide.

Howard Finds Himself in I Forget Where We Were
Who: Ben Howard established himself as a prominent UK folk artist with the release of his first album Every Kingdom back in 2011, a beautiful reflection of positivity, and collection of catchy love lyrics sure to appeal to audiences everywhere. Each song on the album felt as if you were sharing a personal moment with the artist, yet just when you thought he might dive deep and reveal something bigger, he ended the trance and brought you back up with his cute hums, whistles, and winks. The album was a quintessential catch 22; I loved everything about it, the transition from Old Pine, to Everything and what
The rain is falling and you’ve got your jacket pulled tight around your collar. The forecast for the next week peaks in the 50s, and it’s supposed to rain for at least half of those days. If you’re like other Seattleites, you love exploring the outdoors, but have trouble finding not-so-soggy places to do this during the winter.
