Where to take Dad this week
It’s Father’s Day weekend and the school year’s winding down. Congrats to all the graduates, and if you’re still scrambling for a gift, we’ve got a Father’s Day guide to help. Also this week: Some very fancy Swiss chocolate is headed to Tukwila and Bellevue, and we’re ready to indulge. We caught up with the…
Gorge-ous Getaway
Luxury camping hits the Columbia River Gorge
High end camping, or glamping, has been popping up next to national parks for a while now — pretty canvas tents, real beds, bathrooms that don’t require braving the woods in the middle of the night. Now a major national brand has made it to Washington. Under Canvas, the Denver-based company known for luxury camps…
Fresh from Switzerland
A world-renowned chocolatier lands in Tukwila and Bellevue this summer
There’s a new reason to detour through the mall: expertly made Swiss chocolate. Swiss brand Läderach is set to open its first Washington store in early July at Westfield Southcenter in Tukwila. A second location will follow at Bellevue Square in August. Läderach is best known for FrischSchoggi — slabs of chocolate embedded with nuts,…
Sweet Relief
Seattle’s ice cream game keeps it cool when the heat rolls in
Last summer, I romped around New England playing the sweaty tourist. Somewhere in Vermont, my family discovered maple creemees — those impossibly smooth soft-serve cones made with maple syrup and finished with rainbow sprinkles. We had one every day. Washington doesn’t do creemees, but the local ice cream scene more than makes up for it….
June in Seattle Delivers
The city’s in-between season has its moments
The season is starting to turn. Lawnmowers are buzzing, the air smells like barbecue, and suddenly the herbs in the garden are out of control. Here are a few things to love before summer officially begins. Fresh flowers from the farmers market Buckets of peonies, poppies, sweet peas, and snapdragons line the stalls — just…

Pride anthems and bao
Hello. Are you enjoying this lovely stretch of weather? Time to dig out the sunscreen and finally get those sprinklers going. We just wrapped up our Trailblazing Women series, where ten incredible women shaping Seattle share their stories in their own words. Anyone else already dreaming about gelato next summer? And in case you missed…
How to Celebrate ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’ in Seattle
June 5 marks 40 years. Call in sick like you mean it.
It’s one of the greatest movies of all time. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, written and directed by John Hughes, gave us the blueprint for playing hooky: a couple of phony phone calls, some light auto theft, a baseball game, a parade with the best lip-syncing scene in cinematic history, and a near mental breakdown. Hughes…
A Seattle Father’s Day Gift Guide
Local gifts for plant dads, hot sauce guys, design dudes, and anyone who likes being outside
Father’s Day is coming up, and if you’re looking for something local to give or do, we pulled together a few ideas. We know the day can be complicated. Not everyone celebrates, and not every relationship with a father is easy. If you’re honoring someone this year, whether it’s a dad, stepdad, uncle, mentor or…
Seattle’s Soccer Lesson Goes for the Record
Pier 62 to host a massive soccer class aiming to break a Guinness World Record
All you need are some sneakers and a record-breaking spirit. On Sunday, June 15, Seattle will attempt to set a new Guinness World Record for the largest soccer lesson. The goal is to bring together more than 1,000 people for a 30-minute session led by alumni from Sounders FC and Reign FC. The current record…
The Pulse: No Jacket Required
Bridge grazing and a new women’s sports bar
Is it finally warm enough to leave the house without a backup jacket? Maybe. But this is Seattle, so keep a raincoat crumpled in your bag, just in case. People are digging out camping gear and Googling the least buggy lakes. Summer in the Evergreen State is starting to show up, and not a minute…

Art walk, Greek food, Leon Bridges
Hey, hi. Hope your weekend plans include something sunny and at least one snack that doesn’t require cooking. We’ve got a fun lineup this week: a behind-the-scenes look at entertainment producer Kyu Lee’s unexpected career path, a roundup of Seattle Mag staff pets, and the latest from our Trailblazing Women series. We’ll wrap their stories…
Seattle’s World Cup Poster Ranks No. 1
Game days are coming. Our poster’s already winning.
If there’s a creative endeavor of any kind, expect Seattle to show up and look good. Case in point: Our official 2026 FIFA World Cup host city poster took the top spot in Sports Illustrated’s national ranking. For the first time in FIFA World Cup history, each of the tournament’s 16 host cities — spanning…
The Pulse: Seattle Is for the Birds
A wandering crane and the swan tank top we should all own
Spring’s nearly over, and the birds are making the most of it. Gulls are stealing beach snacks, robins bounce around in the grass, and crows run the block like little mobsters. As the city grows, so do they. Seattle now has 30 to 40 times more crows than it did in the 1960s. We’re lucky….
