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.

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.

Pawtucket Man's 1964 Class Ring Comes Home After 47 Years Lost in Puget Sound

The return of a 1964 St. Raphael Academy class ring to Pawtucket's Paul Benson depended on a few engraved initials and help from the school's alumni department.

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.”

Honoring Veterans and Washington Becoming a State

When World War I ended on November 11, 1918, many hoped it would secure democracy around the globe and “end all war.” When America entered the three-year-old European conflict in 1917, some 50,000 Seattleites showed their support with an impromptu parade. One local veteran of the Civil War even tried to enlist. Thousands of knitters made clothing for the troops, citizens in the San Juan Islands and elsewhere around the state also pitched in to aid the war effort, and William Boeing scrambled to win his first defense contract.

Craig doesn’t spare himself as he details his lifelong struggles with substance abuse, but he also savors the grounding quality of cooking and reconnecting to the Indigenous cuisine that were both key to his recovery.
