Does Seattle Like National Chains? Plus, Why Downtown Isn’t Dead After All

Today, Jane C. Hu is back, and she’s talking about the latest business news in Seattle. Joining her are Alex Halverson of the Seattle Times and regular contributor Marcus Harrison Green. They discuss the latest developments for Anduril, the very-real-but-fantasy named weapons company based here in Seattle that is expanding its footprint to Bellevue. They also talk about the news that DocuSign is staying in Seattle, and perhaps that downtown Seattle is going to remain attractive to local businesses and their employees who value good transit, nightlife, and all the pluses of a big city. The trio also discuss whether Seattle likes national chains and the give-and-take between employers and what they owe the city. Finally, they discuss their favorite spots to watch the World Cup. If you’re a neighbor (sign up if you’re not), stick around for a conversation about the state of thrifting in Seattle with Jane, Sam, and Ashley.

There is no meaning in Baltimore, Mariners lose to Orioles

Last week, I sent two condolence cards and a “congratulations on your new baby” card.

Life doesn’t need to dabble in subtleties, it beats […]

Mariners Game Preview and Discussion: Mariners at Orioles

Personally, I hate the series in Baltimore every year about as much as Andrés Muñoz. The weather sucks no matter what time of year it is, the Mariners never seem to score many runs (especially when George Kirby is on the mound for some reason), the injury bug always seems to bite in Oriole Park […]

This time, they’ve selected a local product to cycle into the rotation, selecting RHP Michael Rucker from Triple-A Tacoma and designating RHP Domingo González for assignment one day after recalling him.

Mariners Draft Profile: 3B Bo Lowrance

It can be tough to find true impact players towards the back half of the first round, but that certainly hasn’t stopped the Mariners from shooting for the moon in the past. Snagging their infield tandem of the future in Colt Emerson and Cole Young with picks in the 20’s, the M’s will yet again […]
