Though August 18 is the official date for the primary election, voting begins in less than a month, as King County Elections will start mailing ballots four weeks from today (military/overseas ballots even sooner). Candidates in the hottest incumbentless race, King County Executive , talked environmental issues last night at Town Hall downtown, as a sizable audience looked on: By Johnathon Fitzpatrick Special to West Seattle Blog The stage was set as if for a musical recital, with tall backed bar-stools and music stands. Hoping for a quintet performance by King County Executive candidates, the full audience that gathered at Town Hall for a debate on environmental leadership had to settle for the regular quartet performance by the four elected Democrats running in this officially nonpartisan race – King County Council Chair Dow Constantine of West Seattle, State Rep.

Frank the Tank files on Terrance Brennan’s recession baby Bar Artisanal this week , and while he awards it one star , the piece reads like a takedown: “Take away the cheese and what’s left is a calculating, somewhat cynical operation , connected to the Hilton Garden Inn, that’s not all that reflective of Mr. Brennan, who guides but doesn’t actually own it.

Story and photos by Kathy Mulady Reporting for West Seattle Blog There were princesses everywhere, just as would be expected, at last night’s White Rose Ceremony and Reception in Fauntleroy, part of the 75th annual West Seattle Hi-Yu Festival festivities. Dressed in jewel-hued gowns, dining on cake, the current courts met the new Senior Court candidates and offered them a little entertainment, during a women-only event to celebrate Hi-Yu royalty past and present.

Written by Chris Perrin I know this all sounds harsh. Still, I can’t help but wonder if the Food Network is turning out too many new shows at once. The chefs seem ill at ease behind the camera, the production values reminded my wife of a high school television channel, and the editing is jerky with odd sounding voice… Original story at Edible TV .

It all started some time ago with a letter written by Cosimo Teodoro Spinelli, a 62 year old officer from Brindisi, to Alemanno, mayor of Rome. In that letter the officer told Mr Alemanno about his old dream of himself controlling road traffic from the famous stand placed at the very heart of Piazza Venezia (Venezia square)! The officer has always been a big fan of Italian actor Alberto Sordi whom in one of his most loved films played the role of a traffic policeman, controlling the traffic in Piazza Venezia. Now Mr Spinelli, after making his dream come true, wants to go north and control road traffic in Turin, the city from which Juventus Football club, his favourite team in the whole world, hails!

Whether it’s here in the news section or in the WSB Forums , food never fails to cook up a lively discussion. With that in mind, and his own interest in the subject, WSB contributing journalist Christopher Boffoli has been taking a behind-the-scenes look at some local restaurants, including the Luna Park business district’s 4-months-old Café Revò (WSB sponsor), and with a holiday weekend ahead, we wanted to share the video he put together – as well as the article that begins below.

What’s the best atmosphere to enjoy a pizza? Aviano's pizza Our closest Domino’s and Papa John’s obviously think the answer is “my house” because their shell-sized units do not allow for dining out. Chicago Pizza’s high-backed booths force you to create your own atmosphere at the table because you’re cut off from other diners.

metrocurean photos While considering the perfect cocktail to make for a family birthday celebration at the beach, I had two requirements: It needed to serve more than 10 and I wanted a departure from the obvious margarita/sangria/daiquiri beach go-tos. I flipped to a page in Fine Cooking ‘s May issue featuring the story ” Pleased as Punch ,” and found my recipe. In case you’ve been living under a custom-cut ice block , punch is back in a big way.

Well, we are honoured. This is the second time we’ve been able to claim the ‘by royal appointment’ badge (although, admittedly, the first time may have been stretching the truth somewhat). It emerged in the Telegraph yesterday that even the uppermost echelons of society are partial to a romantic saucy weekend away when none other than the future king squired his consort Kate Middleton into a stylish holiday home under the assumed names of ‘Mr & Mrs Smith’ to celebrate Wills’ 27th
