The cost of fielding a perennially bad team may finally start hitting the Mariners in the bank account next season. The P-I is reporting that the M's will move to KIRO-AM next year in a $5.5 million per year deal for three seasons. This season, at KOMO-AM, the M's are earning $10 million in radio revenue. The huge reduction in radio revenue can be attributed to lower ratings, due to the team's poor performance as......

1st Ave Deli Mart, by Slightlynorth Get ready for more record high temperatures in Seattle today, as summer's finally here. Another beautiful shot of a sunny day in SoDo, courtesy of our Seattlest Flickr Pool. Have you seen that thing lately? Add your photos now.......

"SAFECO Field" by andy lachance Eeriness abounds everywhere in this photo. Got something scarier than our spectacular Mariners? Drop it in our pool.......

DJ Rare Groove spins for the crowd before Atmosphere's set. Slug's tidy ponytail gleams, silhouetted against changing red, green and aqua lights. He moves his body like he's got something to clarify. "Oh, you know this one too?" he asks the deliriously excited crowd, and of course the answer is yes. In Seattle, Atmosphere's emcee Slug--dark, emotionally tortured, pensive Lothario Slug--is a god. We seem to prefer our rockstars on the brooding but safe......

Nas--NAS, people--is playing Showbox SoDo this Friday, and there are three possible reasons why tickets are still available. (1) No one knows he's coming (an unintentionally secret show?); (2) Word's gotten sufficiently around about Nas' weak live performance (but still... Nas!); or (3) Everyone's blown their ticket budgets on hipster-friendly Atmosphere, playing Tuesday at the same venue (for $20 less a ticket). Needless to say, Atmosphere and Nas don't really bring out the same crowd.......

If you do happen to be craving some Japanese antiques, you better get in line now! According to Seattlest tipper and former editor Seth, who has apparently left his windowless office, there is a line around the block at Kyoto Art and Antiques on First Avenue near Qwest Field. The sale started officially at 11 and goes to 7pm according to a gigantic banner stretched across the building. If there's a line stretched around......

Two ambulances pulled up outside the Showbox SoDo on Monday night, just as the doors were opening at 8pm. They attended to a very drunk young lady who no doubt missed out on the all-ages Diplo/Justice bill for that evening. Ah, the youth. Upon entering, we came face to face with a wall of said youth and unavoidable flat-screen monitors plastered everywhere running MySpace videos and ad spam. Up the stairs to the bar,......

"The soul of a city resides in its humanity, not its historic buildings. But those buildings serve to remind the changing cast of human characters what that soul is made of, and keep it from mutating beyond recognition." --Lawrence Cheek Architecture writer Lawrence Cheek writes in today's P-I about two historic properties--one landmarked and one not, respectively--that have been undergoing some creative adaptive reuses: Queen Anne High School and the old Rainier (Sick's) Brewery......

Photo by lachance Yet another greasy Seattle landmark has fallen victim to the mass character exodus currently enveloping this city of heartless opportunists. Andy’s Diner, otherwise known as the “train car café" on Fourth Avenue South is closing. Mozzarella sticks will be a rare commodity in Ballard with the closing of Sunset Lanes and Denny’s, and now SODO will be deprived of the Prime Steak and booze that Andy’s so graciously offered this city for......
