Slog AM: Trump Made a Billion in Crypto, Idaho Opens Execution Chamber, and WA Cares Fund Opens
Good morning! I have woken up in the very unenviable position of having to write Slog AM, our daily news roundup, the morning after news broke that our editor, Hannah Murphy Winter, is leaving The Stranger. Yes, it’s true. And I have a lot of feelings about it here. And now, the news: A Grifter […] The post Slog AM: Trump Made a Billion in Crypto, Idaho Opens Execution Chamber, and WA Cares Fund Opens appeared first on The Stranger.

Yes, Hannah Murphy Winter Is Leaving The Stranger
I have woken up in the very unenviable position of having to write Slog AM, our daily news roundup, the morning after news broke that our editor, Hannah Murphy Winter, is leaving The Stranger. Instead of letting other outlets talk around it, and skipping the headline entirely, let me just say, straight from the source: […] The post Yes, Hannah Murphy Winter Is Leaving The Stranger appeared first on The Stranger.

DJLR Free Agency Frenzy LIVETHREAD
Welcome to free agent frenzy, friends. The NHL has already begun making goofy trades all over the place after the Kraken made a perfectly reasonable call for Mackie Samoskevich, so let’s enjoy the magic as it unfolds! What do the Kraken Need? The Smart-ass answer is “everything”, but I think we can be a little more specific than that. Dire Needs: Younger, more mobile defenseman The Kraken’s biggest achilles heel on D is that they’re old, slow, and struggle with adjusting in net-front work. Adding Brandon Montour last season helped, Chase Reid will absolutely help in that regard, but work still needs to be done in order for this team to compete with the Pacific, which has doubled down on offensive skillset across the board. High-End Goalscoring Forward It’s a constant struggle and it’s always a real pain to keep bringing it up, but yes; the Kraken need somebody who’s willing to go to the net and shoot there. Re-signing Bobby McMann definitely improves the going to the net part, but the Kraken desperately need at least one higher skill forward that can allow them the ability to take over a shift or two and quarterback a power play. Would be nice to have: Left Wing Depth According to EliteProspects.com, the Kraken only have four natural LW players in the entire system; including the NHL team. Obviously it’s fine if you plan on converting a couple of your undersized Centers to wing full-time, but it absolutely can’t hurt to have at least one more! An Upgrade at Center (strictly NHL) I’m not looking at a specific player at the moment! Certainly not! I’m just saying that if the Kraken mean to improve for next year, then they should think carefully about the contract terms of their Center depth, and then make some decisions on possibly upgrading them. Maybe not a wild change, but definitely one that could improve by subtraction or by creating opportunity for other players. Clearer Answer for Goaltending depth in Coachella The goaltending situation for the Kraken seems to be okay at the moment? Definitely not perfect, but they were able to make it work. Their AHL squad meanwhile, has Nikke Kokko on the last year of his RFA contract, Victor Ostman actively looking for his first contract out of RFA, and Kim Saarinen waiting in the wings. As Seattle’s luck has often lent the Coachella Valley netminders a chance to play at least a couple games in the NHL, it would be a good idea for the team to look at the development of these players and come up with a clearer picture. Stuff they’ve already done: Given Lleyton Roed and JR Avon 1 year contracts Said goodbye to Jaden Schwartz 🙁 Let madness continue!

The Best Seafood Restaurants in Seattle
Seattle is synonymous with seafood, and anyone who visits from out of town naturally wants to know where the city’s best seafood is. But that’s a tricky question. There are some self-described “seafood restaurants,” but fish and shellfish work their way into nearly every menu around Puget Sound. This includes oysters on the half shell […]

Your Guide to July 2026 in Seattle
Today on the show, host Jane C. Hu is joined by producers Ashley Smith, Sam J. Leeds, and Liam Billingham to discuss all the best things to do in July. Liam requests recommendations for day trips on the ferry, and the team delivers: from a popsicle stand on Vashon to one square inch of silence in the Hoh Rain Forest. Plus, they discuss summer hikes, including the gorgeous turquoise Diablo Lake and Jane’s tip to check out hidden gems in Teanaway. Then, Sam gives a history of the surprisingly chaotic origins of Seafair, including literally setting ships on fire in Elliott Bay. Liam asks the great philosophical question of our times: can a rave be in the morning if it hasn’t started the night before? And finally, everyone runs through the month's best events like free movies at Northwest Film Forum, a fashion show on decommissioned railroad tracks, a 206-mile bike ride to Portland, and a dance night for the Swifties.

Dear Hendrix
Dear Hendrix, As you’ve noticed by now in these letters, I’m obviously a very devout, religious person. If nothing else, I believe that spirituality is the foundation of a good… oh, who am I kidding?

Slog AM: Local Journalists Win New Contract After Strike, Mayor Wilson Endorses Candidates in Legislative Races, and SCOTUS Upholds Birthright Citizenship, Trans Sports Bans
SCOTUS Rulings are All Over the Map: The court upheld birthright citizenship, which is good, because white supremacists were trying to overturn the precedent to purge the country of millions of people and disenfranchise voters. The vote was 5-4, though, which is too close for comfort. The justices also greenlit the president to fire the […] The post Slog AM: Local Journalists Win New Contract After Strike, Mayor Wilson Endorses Candidates in Legislative Races, and SCOTUS Upholds Birthright Citizenship, Trans Sports Bans appeared first on The Stranger.

Trump Picked a Right-Wing ICE Lawyer for Western Washington’s Top Federal Cop
The office of US attorney is the top cop for each of the nation’s federal court districts. It’s an incredibly important office, but right now in the Western District of Washington we don’t technically have anyone doing the job. That’s because the Trump administration went against the established tradition—and political realism—of appointing someone the district’s […] The post Trump Picked a Right-Wing ICE Lawyer for Western Washington’s Top Federal Cop appeared first on The Stranger.

The Last Cigarette
Illustrations by Pablo Iglesias The Frenchman Cheered For most of my life, I haven’t so much as touched a cigarette. I shared one with a couple of friends in high school at a sleepover, barely inhaled anything, and never looked back. But last year, I went to Paris for my 34th birthday. I couldn’t resist […] The post The Last Cigarette appeared first on The Stranger.
