The afterlife can be quite lonely.

The Lady Rainier Statue Is Seattle’s Queen of Public Transportation
Though hidden, the Lady Rainier statue is easy to find. She is right next to the northernmost building of the Old Rainier Brewery complex on Airport Way. A few steps from a parking lot lead you to her feet, which are planted on an orb.

Jibz Cameron Becomes Dynasty Handbag
The clearest way to explain Dynasty Handbag’s act might be to quote the artist herself. “I am not a wretched performance artist, or merely a comedian, or the ghastly clown, or simply an actor,” Jibz Cameron writes in her new memoir, Hell in a Handbag. “I perform as this alter ego.

A DJ Isn’t a Mirror
Even though I’ve heard his voice on the air since I was a child, KEXP DJ Kevin Cole has done almost too good a job at championing artists and public radio, because I knew nothing about his own legacy before watching his documentary.

We are ancestors in this timeline: ‘urban ashram’ Studio 7117 cultivates global creatives with NWFF fiscal sponsorship
A lineup of shiny lowriders parked just north of Pioneer Square—silver, purple, forest green—is the first sign I’ve arrived at Studio 7117’s Khmer New Year Celebration.
