The Seattle City Council Didn’t Totally Screw Up Mayor Katie Wilson’s Biggest-Ever Seattle Transit Measure to Expand Bus Service in the City
It took over three hours of debate in the Seattle City Council’s Select Committee on Seattle Transportation Benefit District, a slew of dumb amendments, a few good amendments, and sitting through Committee Chair Rob Saka’s tortured pronunciation of the word “machete,” but the Seattle Transit Measure (STM) is intact and headed to a full council […] The post The Seattle City Council Didn’t Totally Screw Up Mayor Katie Wilson’s Biggest-Ever Seattle Transit Measure to Expand Bus Service in the City appeared first on The Stranger.

Don’t Be a Drag
My friend group and I attend drag shows and brunches year-round. For the most part, these shows are beautiful displays of queer art and joy, and are valued spaces for the Seattle queer community. In the past month, I have been to several shows where drunk straight people (yes, I’m assuming) had to be kicked out for […] The post Don’t Be a Drag appeared first on The Stranger.

Shiloh Davies
This story was originally published in The Stranger’s July 2026 print issue. Multidisciplinary artist and designer Shiloh Davies is looking to “bring a little more play into the everyday.” Their textile works—which include soft sculptures, costume designs, and installations—are fantastical, surreal, and full of childlike whimsy. Whether it’s large pancakes stacked along a wall, giant […] The post Shiloh Davies appeared first on The Stranger.

Seattle Art Fair 2026 Cheat Sheet
It’s time for the Seattle Art Fair, taking place July 23–26 at the Lumen Field Event Center. I probably don’t have to explain art fairs to anyone, but art fairs are the glitzy cousin of trade fairs, usually housed in fluorescent-flooded convention centers, where galleries gather under one roof to show off their hottest, most […] The post Seattle Art Fair 2026 Cheat Sheet appeared first on The Stranger.

Slog AM: Pete Hegseth’s Elite, High-T Warriors, the Great “Chinese Child Pornography” Robbery, and Trump’s Illegal $1 Not-Gold Coin
The Naked and Infamous: Denny Blaine Park, Seattle’s favorite hangout for nude gays, will stay open and partially naked, a judge ruled yesterday. The unsightly anti-masturbation fence will stay up, and the city will have to staff the beach with masturbation spotters, place signs outlining good and bad behavior, and establish buffer zones that block […] The post Slog AM: Pete Hegseth’s Elite, High-T Warriors, the Great “Chinese Child Pornography” Robbery, and Trump’s Illegal $1 Not-Gold Coin appeared first on The Stranger.

Dare to speak a word on the bus — it’s good for the culture! A critic of nativism and The Stranger’s “How to Seattle”
Spend any time in the Emerald City and you’ll be sure to find those eager to espouse a doctrine of what is or isn’t proper Seattleite behavior. As our once secluded, hilly town on an isthmus has become more and more metropolitan, people’s attempts to assimilate (or even ward off) transplants with a laundry list of norms and etiquette — or even stranger purity tests — have gone too far. Culture is not static. What starts off as a novel trend can end up becoming a deep-seated tradition later, but people every
