The Stranger

The Stranger The Stranger is Seattle's Only Newspaper. The Stranger defines, defends, and sometimes defies the culture and politics of Seattle.

Our coverage arises from a resolutely urban point of view, offering a unique perspective on the topics that matter most to people who live, work, and play in Seattle. Our original news reporting is relentless and outspoken. Our smart, funny entertainment coverage sets the tone of the city’s cultural conversation. And our innovative, interactive calendar, Things To Do, is Seattle’s most popular and

exhaustive source of event information. The Stranger is unpredictable, and we’re not always nice. But we are unmistakably on the side of our city and our readers. We love Seattle so much that we want more of it: more housing, more transit options, more bars and restaurants, more people. We take our reporting seriously—we won a Pulitzer Prize for feature writing—but we are just as committed to gleefully fu***ng around.

King County just saw its highest mpox case count since 2022, with 45 new infections reported in September. Public health officials say younger people who skipped vaccination during the last outbreak are driving the new spike. The good news: the two-dose vaccine still works and is free at the Harborview Sexual Health Clinic. If you’re in a risk group, get your shots now.

Seattle’s poll numbers are in, and progressives are in the lead.

In The Stranger’s new poll with DHM Research, Dionne Foster leads Sara Nelson, Erika Evans is up double digits on Ann Davison, and Alexis Mercedes Rinck is crushing Rachael Savage. Katie Wilson’s still ahead of Bruce Harrell, but only by a hair among likely voters.

The gap? Turnout.

If everyone who says they might vote actually does, Seattle could finally have a mayor and council that look a little less like a Chamber of Commerce luncheon.

Two weeks out from the election, the mayor took the mic to announce a tentative deal with the police union, one that would finally let the CARE crisis team double in size and actually take some 911 calls without a cop tagging along. The trade-off? SPD walks away with raises, bonuses, and a major funding boost. City Council still has to sign off on the deal though, so for now, this feels more like campaign theater than an actual win for Harrell.

This parent wrote into 's Savage Love column concerned that their teenager's autism may affect his sexual development as he comes of age. Should they address their concerns with their son, and if so, how do they go about approaching that subject?
