Over 4,000 people have filled the sidewalks, restaurants and venues of Downtown Everett the last two years to experience Fisherman’s Village Music Festival. Come meet a new city and enjoy a unique weekend full of new faces and new music. There will be a vintage fair, talented (and many local) musicians, and food trucks!
Since February 2010, Hard Rock Café Seattle has been serving up bites and beats to the Downtown area. But this spring, hungry patrons may now enjoy a few new items such as the Fresh Catch of the Day from Pike’s Place Market. Topped by juicy slices of oranges and lemons, accompanied by grilled asparagus, and propped up by a bed of steaming rice mixed with corn, red peppers, and broccoli, this dish brings a splash of spice and tang to the pallet. Mmmmm.
Enjoy Seattle-area offerings from wonderful Wanderlust to daring dance performances.
So far, we’ve been loving this month, and we’re excited to see what the rest of May has in store. To help fully embrace this delightful pre-summer stretch, we’ve rounded up some suggestions for Seattle-area “musts” that promise to nourish the mind, body and soul (not necessarily in that order). And in some cases—like Wanderlust on May 22—you can attend to all three at once.

Carrot Pineapple Brown Butter, Banana Rum, and S’mores. These are just some of Deep Sea Sugar & Salt’s delectable cake flavors you will find this Thursday, May 12th, at West Seattle’s Parliament Tavern. Gather your friends to enjoy a draft beer and munch on one (or two) cupcakes during the pub’s art exhibit, The Fancy Glovework: An Industrial Softball League (ISL) Artist Showcase, that will feature art in a variety of mediums by artists who participate in this league.
The Eastside, particularly Bellevue, has a reputation and it’s not a positive one. Many people think of the Eastside as being cultureless with cookie-cutter chain restaurants and snobby, materialistic people driving Range Rovers and Teslas. However, while it may be true in a small way, that isn’t an entirely accurate or fair description. There’s so much more to the Eastside—don’t let a few stereotypes stop you from visiting! There are several great spots that Seattleites should consider crossing the bridge for (and a few places to avoid), you just need a little “In the Know”.

Have you found that perfect song that seems to be three dimensional and fulfill any mood you’re in? The one you blast while cleaning your 600sf closet you call a home, throw on the vinyl to clear the hazy air between friends, or had shazam spinning for so long you bought three pairs of pants at Nordstrom, all different sizes? Chances are that song came from Mayer Hawthorne. It’s like Marvin Gaye and George Clinton had a dapper, funky little love child that came out serenading the nurses. I’ve been lusting after this soulful powerhouse for seven years and counting, and might have grown

A week before the owner, Bulent Aki, graduated from Seattle Central Community College, his professor asked his graduating class to write an article about what they will do once they graduate. He studied computer processing in school, but had a passion to start a small business. Working at a company on data processing, Bulent found that the business was not doing well so he had to figure out what to do next. He reminds himself that it was a Friday when he had the urge to start his own restaurant. He met his partner, Sharrie Nailon, when she was running her own restaurant in Seattle Center. She had a business degree and had grown up in the area so she seemed to be a great partner for this journey.
