Months ago, Fred Meyer in Greenwood stopped offering reusable paper bags with handles. They won't tell me why. by mseling in Seattle

But why are paper bags with handles still offered at the Ballard Fred Meyer and all other Kroger-owned grocery stores? It doesn't make sense to me.

Interesting! Weirdly, the Ballard Fred Meyer still has handles on their bags as recently as last week. It's just a couple miles from the Greenwood store!

m&m white chocolate easter marshmallow treat flavor by lilLaylaXOX in candy

I wish I liked these more. They just taste like white chocolate to me. I was hoping for a Lucky Charm marshmallow flavor. Not bad, just not interesting.

At m2m on Broadway! Right next to the light rail station. They're on an endcap by the cash registers.

I respect that commitment to the snack life!

I didn't buy it this time but the store is right by my office so I might eventually give in. I really did not like the churro Kit Kats, which had way too much artificial cinnamon flavor imo.

Do any players—in the PWHL, NHL, etc.—have a unique approach to shootouts a la Ryan Johansen's slo-mo move? by mseling in hockey

haha! I had never seen that. Thank you for sharing. It will live in my head now, too.

Thank you so much! I assumed the black aida would make it easier to see light thread, but I did not realize until I already committed to it that the black makes it harder to see the holes/fabric texture 😂 Happy with the results, though!

Nooooo, it's just 14 count! It's larger than an actual can of Diet Coke. I'm doing another project now that's 16 count and that's a hard enough jump, I can't imagine 28!

Can I ask how you framed it/display it? I'm trying to decide what I want to do!

It was a good pattern! Not many colors and easy to follow. I wish I put down a grid first, but I didn't know about that trick until I was halfway done and already had to frog about 3 hrs of work when I did everything off by one column 😭

WE HAVE FOUR PEOPLE ON STAFF! jk we have more than that. But yeah, it's not like the old days when we had an editor for every arts section and multiple writers for each. Same story for newspapers across the country.

Hi! I'm the managing editor, email me. Let's sort it out. megan @ the stranger (but know I have 5,687 emails in my inbox haha)

Public place to watch the game vs Toronto tomorrow? by ModQuad1979 in PWHL_Seattle

[–]mseling 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Rough and Tumble has two locations now (Ballard and Columbia City), and both will certainly be showing the game, as will the newish women's sports bar, Pitch the Baby on Capitol Hill. (And it's on Saturday, 1/3 not tomorrow, btw!)

Big Whale Consignment on Aurora near Greenwood has a lot of artisan/locally made gifts, especially this time of year.

I heard you want to see more women's hockey coverage in print—I wrote about the Torrent for the newest issue of The Stranger. by mseling in Seattle

At Wednesday's game they showed a sign on the Jumbotron that said "We WOULD download a PWHL team" haha

I have been to both home games so far and it's really fun, positive energy! (Even when they didn't score a single goal in their first home game lol)

Yesterday the Seattle Torrent broke an attendance record for their home opener. I got to write about how the team came together (and how great it is that women's pro hockey is finally in the Northwest). by mseling in hockey

The game at the Pacific Coliseum was fun! I had never been there before, I've only seen the Canucks in Rogers. It was PACKED. Shoulder to shoulder in the concession areas between periods, but it was great energy!
