Burien rapper Travis Thompson talks storytelling, sobriety and the city that made him
I first caught Travis Thompson in 2017 during his set at Upstream, the music festival founded by the late Paul Allen. He’d just released his "Ambaum" mixtape, a nod to Burien, where he grew up and spent much of his life. Though he was still relatively young, he already knew how to connect with a crowd. I’ve seen him perform about a half a dozen times since, most recently at Bumbershoot, and he's still got that ability to connect.

Annual salmon run underway at Carkeek Park
The annual salmon run in Piper’s Creek has started in Carkeek Park, where hundreds of chum and coho battle their way upstream to spawn each year. The Piper’s Creek salmon run is a big attraction in November, when the numbers of salmon are typically at their peak in the creek. Most days, you can see salmon thrashing in the creek as they swim to spawning grounds, a process that starts in late October and finishes in early December.

Two Seattle screenings of Portland-filmed feature ‘A Simple Machine’ already sold out
Filmed in Portland, A Simple Machine is a feature film about a young man struggling under debt who “makes a series of radically frugal lifestyle choices without telling his girlfriend that he’s going to fix up an old bike and go off the grid,” according to the film’s synopsis. The trailer looks great, with a grainy black-and-white style and intriguing dialog. “This is not just a ‘bike film,’” the promotional team said in an email to Seattle Bike Blog about the upcoming screening. “It’s a film where the bike is the philosophy.”
