Every once in awhile, you need to get off the beaten path, slow things down a bit, and just take life as it comes. When you’re in that kind of mood, get off of I-5 and try taking Route 11, also known as Chuckanut Drive
To get to Chuckanut Drive, head north on I-5, getting [...]
Yeah, yeah, I hear the rain jokes and comments all the time —
How many Seattle-ites does it take to change a light bulb?
Two. One to change the bulb and one to hold the umbrella.
Ha! Ha!
After my return from Paris last week, a non-local friend asked if I was lamenting my return to the rainy weather [...]
Seattle has been home to a number of outstanding musicians over the years, although people tend to focus more on the grunge and indy scene, forgetting about the rich blues and jazz scene of earlier decades.
Jazz artist Ernestine Anderson is a Garfield High School alum, and a part of Seattle’s Jackson Street era that gave [...]

b5media, today adds on two new destination blogs to our growing channel of great Travel & Culture blogs.
Heading south of the Mason-Dixon line, you’ll find Chloe, blogging at The Atlanta Traveler. It’s been awhile since I’ve visited this city, and her posts have been a fun reminder of how much the city has to [...]
It’s a sin to kill a mockingbird. Why, because they do us no harm; the only thing they do is sing their hearts out for us.
That innocence of right and wrong set the tone for Harper Lee’s magnificent novel, To Kill a Mockingbird.
The novel is a very thinly disguised autobiography, with Harper Lee as [...]
The Las Vegas Convention Center will be the location for BlogWorld & New Media Expo, November 8th - 9th, and it’s the perfect excuse to arrange a short little getaway from Seattle.
