Finding Freedom
From the get-go, Stacey Levine’s latest novel, Mice 1961, plunges the reader into a story of motion. “I’m interested in playing with language,” says Levine, who, in addition to authoring several novels and a book of short stories, teaches English composition and creative writing at Seattle Central College. “I’m also intrigued by the drama of small, unnoticed, everyday life things.” The post Finding Freedom appeared first on Seattle magazine.
Trailblazing Women: Lynne Varner
I don’t see myself as a trailblazer. Instead, call me a trail runner nimbly following paths laid by so many brilliant, amazing women who came before me. Some of those women are mentors who showed me not just who I could be, but how I could be. We tell young people... The post Trailblazing Women: Lynne Varner appeared first on Seattle magazine.
We Need to Talk About Tivoli
Each time I return, for the mortadella sandwich with whipped ricotta and “pistachio jazz” at lunch or the black garlic knots at dinner, I marvel that the massive crowds of Seattle dining scenesters have yet to find it. The post We Need to Talk About Tivoli appeared first on Seattle magazine.

Trailblazing Women: Merrie Williamson
I’ve been in the technology industry for more than 25 years.

Along the way I have been asked... The post Trailblazing Women: Merrie Williamson appeared first on Seattle magazine.

Trailblazing Women: Tahmina Watson
I am a servant leader who leads with love. It has taken four decades to know this about myself. And now I am unapologetically loving to everyone. My journey to this realization was paved by my dedication as an immigration lawyer, a profession where compassion is a key ingredient. Yet, being a lawyer and running a law firm are two different things. One you learn in law school; the other by being... The post Trailblazing Women: Tahmina Watson appeared first on Seattle magazine.
Clarity: Pete Carroll’s Quirky, Lasting Legacy
I covered sports for more than 20 years in this city, and I should know better than catching feelings for a coach. Besides, the most unusual thing about Carroll’s firing is that he lasted this long. Pete may not have been able to win forever, as his book proclaimed, but lasting 14 years is closer than almost everyone thought he’d come when he took the job.

Trailblazing Women: Dr. Nwando Anyaoku
As a female immigrant of color, I can attest to personal and professional triumphs by way of systemic barriers.
