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.

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.

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. At 14th and Jefferson, L’Oursin has been the kissy darling of Seattle’s food writers since opening in 2016, and I’d […] The post The Cheesy Marty at Bar Bayonne appeared first on The Stranger.

Storm Season
It looks like Seattle may get the Sonics back, and people can’t wait. I’m not from here, but I can appreciate how big a deal this is. However, I’m not looking forward to people saying that Seattle finally has a basketball team. Because we do have a basketball team! It’s the Storm, and they’ve won […] The post Storm Season appeared first on The Stranger.
