The decision about what will replace the Fun Forest at Seattle Center is still up in the air. This fall, a review panel recommended converting it into an exhibition space celebrating local glass artist Dale Chihuly.
That proposal promises millions in much-needed revenue. But the backers of several other ideas haven’t given up hope.
A futuristic Ferris Wheel is causing a flap in Seattle.
The Seattle Center has announced it is planning to install an extra-tall "observation wheel" reminiscent of the British capital's London Eye. It will go up in April and remain for 18 months on the site of the Fun Forest for the Center's 50th anniversary, commemorating the 1962 World's Fair.
It's a strong year for independent films – and for indie movies from the Pacific Northwest. Four feature films that were shot in the Seattle area have been selected to screen at the Sundance Film Festival in January.
"The Details" is a dark comedy shot in Kirkland with a cast including star actors Laura Linney, Elizabeth Banks and Tobey McGuire. It's in the line-up for the high-profile "Premieres" series.
