Captain Russell Fee has spent 20 years at the helm of Washington State Ferries. Puget Sound is his wheelhouse, and fishing season is always an adventure. “He’s right where we want to be, that little pleasure boat, so we’ll see if he moves out of the way,” Fee said, as he scanned the water from his perch upon the ferry Spokane.

Revisiting what Colin Cowherd got wrong on his Seahawks Mount Rushmore
First off, this is not an article that is going to trash Colin Cowherd. Is he a highly paid talking head who gets a lot of notoriety when he says salacious tidbits? Yes, of course, and he had made a good living doing that. Truth is how you want to spin it. We have learned that if a person says something often enough, in the end that becomes some kind of truth.

World Stage, Local Pride in the Pacific Northwest
First published in the New York Times, April 23, 2007. SEATTLE, April 21 — “It’s great to be home,” Trisha Brown said at the start of a pre-performance talk. Ms. Brown has been a leading light of New York postmodern dance since the 1960s, but the “home” she meant was Washington State, where she grew up. When you consider that Merce Cunningham, Robert Joffrey and Mark Morris were also born here, and first studied dance here, you can’t help wondering if some dance-friendly ingredient flows in the air. You wonder the same again when you recall that Seattle’s Pacific Northwest Ballet has been among America’s foremost ballet companies since the 1980s, reaching international stature in the 1990s.
Mariners show signs of life but lose to Astros anyway, 4-2
While the vibes are understandably Very Bad to Chernobyl among the Mariners fanbase after a 4-2 loss at the hands of the Astros that saw the Mariners fall out of first place in the AL West, given the choice between the two losses, I’ll take tonight’s, even if it guaranteed a series loss and sets the Mariners up for their first sweep of the season tomorrow. The Mariners are down, worse than they’ve been all season. But for the Mariners—the scrappy team in the forgotten upper left corner of the map of baseball, the team that’s been a punching bag and a running joke for the rest of the league for the majority of its existence, the team that’s served as the crucible for the baseball historians and scribes interested in the weird and bad and goofy, the Seattle Literal Mariners—this might be just where they want to be. To borrow from Denis Johnson’s Jesus’ Son: “No more pretending for him! He was completely and openly a mess. Meanwhile the rest of us go on trying to fool each other.”
