Nancy Evans said she and Dan and some of their other remarkable friends were successful because “so much of what they did was always really for their own family and for the future generations.”

The tale unfolds through a maze of beautifully realized choral settings narrated by Ella Sheppard (an excellent Lisa Arrindell).

A blanket 20 percent tax on imports — raw materials, semi-finished items, finished parts, the lot — would be a shock to Boeing and many other companies. It would strain international relationships, and those other countries might retaliate by raising their tariffs.

Beirut was once the Paris of the Middle East.. Now Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, and Iran have all dissolved into chaos.

Seattle lucked out; it was not saddled with any of the bizarre schemes nor improbable solutions proposed for the waterfront.

The NDP, like Democrats in the U.S., is now a home to educated urbanites. It is an uneasy coalition of environmentalists, blue-collar unions, emigrees, and Aboriginal First Nations.

Missing from a lot of commentary on Walz’s quirky folksy manner has been any serious in-depth treatment of Minnesota’s distinctive political history and Walz...

The theme of this year’s international art exhibition is Stranieri Ovunque (Foreigners Everywhere) — a fitting and perhaps ironic recognition that Venice is now swamped with tourists.

There’s one sure way to get more enjoyment from wine, find better values from your wine purchases and enjoy more interesting experiences when visiting...

The Pacific Northwest Utilities Conference forecasts regional power needs. Its recently released independent forecast shows a projected 30 percent shortfall in the next ten...

Republican response to Trump’s false charges has followed a familiar pattern, though. Among prominent Republicans, only Mitt Romney has specifically denounced Trump’s spreading disinformation.

After the game, Geno Smith demonstrated a keener eye for the arched brows of reporters than the alignments of 49ers' defensive backs. "How many games...

My perplexed fellow traveler and I tend to look at and listen to Trump, shake our heads and say, “I don’t get it.” And we don’t. We live in blue bubbles. He in L. A., me in Seattle.

The news that got the Board’s attention was a cost increase from the 2023 estimate of $4 billion to somewhere between $5.1 and $5.6 billion. The bad news didn’t end there.

Rural economies and surviving mill towns have struggled economically for decades.  No one has come up with a credible plan to reverse their economic slide.

Notably absent from the list of big checks is anything for Reichert, either from national Republicans or the state GOP, which gave him the paltry sum of about $18,000 last month. The deep pockets on the right apparently view Reichert as a bad bet. 

"Washington's 3rd has replaced Washington's 8th as the state's most competitive district," said Andrew Villeneuve, executive director of the Northwest Progressive Institute, which commissioned the poll.

Harris’s language appeals to Democrats. They want somebody to fight Trump. Someone who will call out how he is attacking SSI and helping billionaires. But for those not steeped in political party identification, it sounds like vague promises. 

Our lives are soothed by an array of service attendants and a flock of mechanical conveniences.  Foods "appear" at market stalls as if from...

We can only send dollars to the main event. Battleground cities like Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, Madison, and Charlotte get the big rallies. Two small east side communities, Medina and Hunts Point do show up on presidential campaign maps as both are home to wealthy bipartisan givers.

The Industrial Workers of the World, known as the IWW or "Wobblies," in the early 1900s had aggressively recruited mill workers and loggers in Southwest Washington State.  The Wobblies believed that a revolution was at hand. 

Shipping disruptions during the pandemic showed that global logistics systems are tightly intertwined. Slowdowns in one region can quickly ripple through the supply chains. 

Mayor Harrell’s misguided grab is not final. The Seattle City Council has seven weeks set aside to work on Harrell’s budget proposal and restore funding for the Seattle Channel. .

“We knew nothing about farming. We didn't know how to make a straight line in a row. How do you drive a tractor? How big a tractor do you need? We were fortunate that there were a lot of people like us, who also didn't know anything."

Let’s be honest about problems with the CCA. It creates a painful regressive tax that falls disproportionately on working people, making it more costly to heat a home, buy food transported by trucks, or get to a job site – all the while creating a huge fund of money flowing in large measure to Democrat-aligned organizations.

Moderates did poorly in the primaries, where Republican candidates lost to more conservative challengers. Business interests now fear a veto-proof Democratic Legislature.

Now that Mayor Harrell’s proposed 2025 budget for the City of Seattle has been out for a couple of weeks, we’ve had time to...

Under the taut leadership of conductor Tianyi Lu this seemingly quixotic program proved to be successfully coherent, flowing from one distinct genre to the next with effortless exhilaration.

It’s been tough sledding for the Republican. Reichert usually went along with the GOP House caucus and his anti-abortion and abolish-Obamacare votes have come home back to haunt him.

Walz needed some Ronald Reagan-esque wry amusement over his opponent. Some humor. And even a little confident condescension toward his much younger opponent.
