The problem with this particular project is that the Seahawks play St. Louis twice a year. After meals of toasted ravioli and gooey butter cake we are left with slingers, St. Paul sandwiches, and the city’s official dish, Crisco covered in fried caramel and broken glass.

This week, we had the odd experience of transferring planes in Seattle while traveling from Orange County to Lewiston. With a mad dash to a connecting flight right in terminal C, we were famished and wondered where to grab a quick bite. Alaska Airlines’ blueberry snack bar just wasn’t going to sustain us. (At least the snack didn’t have religious messages attached to it.)

Seattlest watches as a S.L.U.T. is born and Seattle Flickr users go nuts over a local art installation. A restaurant critic demands a Diner's Bill of Rights over a gnat next to her drink, and, in lieu of a Portlandist, Seattlest debates with itself over the identity of the Northwest's crown jewel. Seattlest also joins the guys from Fantagraphics for an ill-fated gun party in the woods.

Holy smokes! Giant fish on the MTA, Paris Hilton in jail, then out, then in again, Al Gore, goatses, blumpkins, Matt Damon, and baby art critics! It's been a busy week across the Ist-A-Verse, and here's a smattering of what's been going on.

Little tip to the Mariners, the next time the jewel of your franchise leaves the game with an apparent injury don’t play some happy Van Morrison song about love. Instead, as our friend pointed out, you might want to play something more appropriate, like the Six Feet Under theme.

What's better than a film noir? A stylized, old-timey, slang-heavy film noir that takes place at a modern-day high school. Seattlest recently spoke to Rian Johnson, writer and director of the highly acclaimed Brick, now playing at the Neptune Theatre.

Seattlest knows these two crazy Mormons from Orange County who are in the process of moving to Seattle by the slowest means possible: by foot. The Schmidts chose the Pacific Crest Trail for their route to sunny Seattle over the less scenic--and yet, less crazy--I-5 option. The intrepid couple post regular reports on their personal and meticulously detailed blog that’s a pleasure to read even if you hate hiking.
