The Seattle Opera Hosted Its First Official Furry Night
Writing and photography by West Smith Furries are everywhere. That’s the biggest lesson I took away from attending my first furry convention earlier this year. Before that, I think I still carried some lazy stereotype in my head about the furry community being made up exclusively of Reddit-dwelling teenagers. Then I got there and met […] The post The Seattle Opera Hosted Its First Official Furry Night appeared first on The Stranger.

Suspect in Juniper Blessing Killing Charged with Murder
The King County prosecutor’s office charged Bellevue man Christopher Leahy with premeditated murder on Monday afternoon in the killing of transgender University of Washington student Juniper Blessing on May 10 in off-campus student housing. The premeditated murder charge, together with a sentencing enhancement for using a deadly weapon, means that, if convicted, Leahy faces between […] The post Suspect in Juniper Blessing Killing Charged with Murder appeared first on The Stranger.

Nilu Jenks Says She’s the Progressive in the District 5 City Council Race
It’s been ten years since Seattle adopted a district-based city council. And for almost that whole time, District 5, which spans Greenwood to Bitterlake and North Beach to Lake City, has been stuck with Councilmember Debora Juarez. After Juarez stepped down, former King County Superior Court judge Cathy Moore was elected in the 2023 conservative […] The post Nilu Jenks Says She’s the Progressive in the District 5 City Council Race appeared first on The Stranger.

The History of the Broadway Theater
Why did we do this? Read our case for making the marquee a landmark. The building itself, a wood-frame of average quality, is not special. But its green and cream interiors trimmed with silver must have seemed so to a Seattle Daily Times reporter in 1911, when 201 Broadway Avenue East was taking its first […] The post The History of the Broadway Theater appeared first on The Stranger.

The Old Broadway TheaterMarquee Should Be a Landmark
In February, news broke that McDonald’s had filed for a permit to spend $750,000 to turn the old Broadway Theater (once our most fashionable Rite Aid) into a fast food restaurant. We groaned a collective groan. McDonald’s doesn’t just move in. They turn storefronts into a wash of grays and blacks, with ever-growing golden arches.

Stranger Suggests: Your Agenda This Week, May 18–24
MONDAY 5/18 Dry Cleaning (MUSIC) British band Dry Cleaning is known for frontperson Florence Shaw’s talk-sung vocals, plodding rhythms, and commentary on the mundanity of daily life. After crashing onto the post-punk scene with two critically acclaimed albums in 2021 and 2022, they played shows around the world and took a bit of a break […] The post Stranger Suggests: Your Agenda This Week, May 18–24 appeared first on The Stranger.

Slog AM: Another Dead Whale in Washington, The Christians Take DC, and Is The War On?
How are those US-Iran negotiations going? They’re stalled. After a Sunday call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Donald Trump posted on social media: “For Iran, the Clock is Ticking, and they better get moving, FAST, or there won’t be anything left of them.” Monday, Iran’s foreign ministry said it had responded to the […] The post Slog AM: Another Dead Whale in Washington, The Christians Take DC, and Is The War On? appeared first on The Stranger.

Firebirds Round 3 Playoffs SO FAR: BIRDFIGHT…2!
The Need to Knows The Times for remaining games: Game 3: May 17 – 5:05pm PDT Game 4: May 20 – 7:05pm PDT Game 5: May 22- 7:05pm PDT The Place: All remaining games in this series will be conducted in Blue Federal Credit Union Arena in Loveland, Colorado Place to Watch: FloHockey What Happened in Games 1 and 2? Shutouts. Shutouts happened. The Eagles came to Coachella’s barn and dropped a 3-0 result on them to open the series… …Not taking that lying down, Coachella came right back in Game 2, and smashed Colorado flat in a 4-0 series tying statement. What to expect from the rest of this series and X-factors Honestly? The beginning of the real series. After two absolute blowouts where both teams took turns making the other look hapless or considerably unlucky, we now get to see how both teams respond. As for playoff performance, the Eagles haven’t been nearly as battle tested as the Firebirds, but that’s because the Eagles are damn good at just eliminating foes when it comes time to; going 2-for-2 against San Diego, and have only surrendered one game prior to Game 2 to the Henderson Silver Knights, and that one was in Double OT. The loss that the Firebirds handed them however suggests that they were not ready for that kind of game; particularly against a forecheck that seems to have adjusted in just such a way to break into their defensive structure and make them look silly. Colorado might be good, but they struggled on the regular season to keep up momentum against Coachella as the season wore on. They certainly didn’t expect to be facing the AHL playoffs’ highest goalscoring duo, and four of the top 7 point-getters in the playoffs to be playing in Coachella; which is just a testament to the work that the Firebirds are getting across their lineup, but specifically JR Avon and Oscar Fisker Mølgaard; who have become game-warping talents out there in the desert, and the work of Jagger Firkus and Jani Nyman, who have become playmakers and goal enablers for the rest of the Firebirds. Colorado meanwhile can boast depth throughout their lineup, and certainly some strong goaltending, but that depth if it can’t get going can look pretty easy to throw off their game. Naturally, this will be a major pain point for the Firebirds to exploit, because unlike the last two games and unlike the last two series; they’ll have to do it all on the road. While the Reign series did feature more games in Ontario than in Coachella, they were spaced out enough that the juice of returning home to their impressively raucous crowd allowed them to take some serious momentum. That will not be the case in this series, as all three of the upcoming games in this series, should they need all of them, will be in Loveland; come hell or high water. The Firebirds need to dig deep, make life easier for Nikke Kokko, and find a way to keep that blowout’s lessons in mind; they can be beaten, they can be flustered. They just gotta do that two more times before we’re in Western Conference Finals territory. LET’S GO FIREBIRDS.

Our Regional Homelessness Authority Is in Deep Trouble
When an independent audit last month found that the King County Regional Homelessness Authority (KCRHA) was running a $45 million deficit, including $13 million in funds unaccounted for or overspent, the public outrage was palpable. The forensic evaluation was damning, describing KCRHA’s internal accounting processes as “weak” and lacking many basic cost controls. Local officials […] The post Our Regional Homelessness Authority Is in Deep Trouble appeared first on The Stranger.

Meditations in an Emergency
Just when you think you know an artist, they throw something like this at you. It’s not just that Joe Rudko (metaphorically) tossed his photographs and X-Acto knife; it’s that he (literally) took oil pastels—the fancy cousin of crayons—and drew directly on the gallery wall. In wobbly rainbow letters, he spelled out his name and […] The post Meditations in an Emergency appeared first on The Stranger.

Community Grief and Healing Event Planned After Stabbing of Juniper Blessing, a 19-Year-Old Trans UW Student
All week, I’ve been trying to find the words for what happened to a transgender University of Washington student in off-campus student housing Sunday night, and hoping it was not what it looked like. We don’t know all the details. But from court documents and reporting from various newspapers and TV stations, we know that […] The post Community Grief and Healing Event Planned After Stabbing of Juniper Blessing, a 19-Year-Old Trans UW Student appeared first on The Stranger.

The Cheesy Marty at Bar Bayonne
Bad news, guys. I wasted three years of my life not going to Bar Bayonne when I could’ve been. I can never get them back. I can only start compensating today for the deleterious loss.
