Tacoma author Patrick Hutchison felt that. So, he bought a $7,500 cabin as a young man with little to no knowledge about how to restore it — the how was unimportant, honestly — and he documen...
“If you really stop to notice, there’s a lot of beauty hiding in the little details."
Artist Tininha Silva walks along the ocean beach near her home in Port Townsend every day. Instead of looking at the horizon, she looks at her feet and finds those beautiful details.

It's that victory lap you take in the wee hours after you've stayed up all night to finish a project. It's the magical way music flows differently through the night air. It's one of the best things about Seattle in the summer: nighttime!

Ray Nayler’s 2022 novel The Mountain in the Sea was a huge hit in Seattle, and now, his latest novel seems poised to surpass it in this market. Why? Well, because it’s about highly intelligent crows.
We love our corvids in Seattle, but these crows are extra special. Set in Lithuania during World War II, Nayler's The Palaces of the Crow follows four young people caught between the Nazis and the desperate remnants of the ...

Think of some of your favorite Pacific Northwest critters. What’s at the top of the list? Maybe some of the region’s great birds, like the bald eagle, Steller’s Jay, belted kingfisher, or the iconic tufted puffin. What about the pigeon guillemot? Probably not, right?
