The Founders of Issaquah's Rock and Roll Roller Rink Want You to Get Out and Skate

It’s a Friday night, and roller skaters are out on the floor at Issaquah’s Rock and Roll Roller Rink gliding to tracks by Duran Duran and other vibey pop hits of yore as a disco ball spins. Amateur skaters line up to rent a pair of skates at what appears to be an old pharmacy counter. That’s because it is: Back in the day, this rink was once a Bartell Drugs.

Pearl Jam Guitarist Mike McCready Unveils Title Track of Lost Rock Opera and Novel About the Seattle Grunge Scene

As Pearl Jam continues auditions for a new drummer, guitarist Mike McCready has finished a side project he started a long time ago. On November 13, 2026, he released “Farewell To Seasons”, the title track for his “lost” rock opera. For roughly 20 years, McCready has been developing the project. It centers around McCready’s own experiences in the iconic Seattle grunge of the late 80s and early 90s. Specifically, McCready focused on deceased friends from the scene, in a way to honor them decades later.

Sotheby’s Hedreen Auction Proceeds Will Repay Loan, Not Fund University Museum: Report

A $300 million art donation to Seattle University has been revealed to be more complex than originally reported. As Art Week NYC Kicks Off, Galleries Have Millions of Dollars of Art to Sell--And No Shortage of Naras On Monday, Sotheby’s will begin selling approximately 50 works from the collection amassed by Seattle real estate developer and philanthropist Richard “Dick” Hedreen, previously billed as the “largest art gift ever” to a US university. Hedreen said in September that the sale did not mean the promised gift was falling through. Rather, he suggested, the proceeds would help furnish Seattle University’s new art museum, where the collection was eventually expected to hang. Records newly reported on by The Seattle Times , however, tell a different story: The works are being sold not to fund the museum, but to pay off a debt secured against the collection — a debt Hedreen says stands between him and fulfilling his pledge to the university. What was originally framed as a donation, in reality, was a pledge: Hedreen, whose firm R.C. Hedreen Co. owns the Grand Hyatt among other Seattle properties, retained the right to buy and sell works from the collection until the gift was finalized.

Review: 'The Old Stuff' feels new again with 4 nights of Garth Brooks in Seattle

Barnburners, ballads, and everything in between, Garth Brooks' long-awaited return to Seattle was met with intensity and enthusiasm from a primed and eager audience. Pre-show, the house lights revealed a sea of smiling faces beneath cowboy hats. Brooks played the Tacoma Dome back in 2017 for his "Comeback Tour," but it's been nearly three decades since he performed in Seattle proper (his planned stadium show at Lumen Field in 2021 was postponed and never rescheduled). Now his "Blame It All on My Roots Tour" brings Brooks to Climate Pledge Arena for four straight nights.

MAGA Streamer Nick Shirley Just Issued an Embarrassing Correction

Last month, right-wing conspiracy theorist and YouTuber Nick Shirley followed an old woman around Lam’s Seafood, a Vietnamese grocery store in Seattle. He observed her buying spring rolls and tuna, which he incorrectly called spam and sushi. Shirley claims in a video voiceover that the items were “magically $120.” “How come you sold this spam and sushi for $120?” he says to the cashier, who gives him a confused look. He eventually demands to speak to the manager and asks any worker in sight why they’re “letting people commit food stamp fraud.” “You all are committing fraud, this entire block is committing fraud,” he says in the video, which can still be seen on TikTok . Lam’s denied Shirley’s allegations more than a month ago, with its operations manager saying that Lam’s had never participated in any EBT fraud. They pointed out that because Shirley does not speak Vietnamese, he missed the woman clearly asking for an entire case of tuna—which she was correctly charged. A month later, Shirley fully retracted his story. “I have an important correction to make,” Shirley said in a video posted Wednesday. “I stated [the woman at Lam’s] purchased one can of spam and one
