[ARCHIVES] Recognizable by its unmistakable neon sign, corner location, and the stylish mannequins that populate its front windows, Red Light Vintage and Costume, known to most as Red Light, has been a fixture of the Ave since its opening in 1996. If you have not yet stepped inside, your coolest friend definitely has.

Next door to two brand-new clothing resale shops, the store boasts a massive collection of vintage everything — wedding dresses, jeans, shoes, art pieces, and iconography. At Red Light, 85% of the merchandise is certified vintage, while the remaining 15% features new costume pieces and jewelry. Today, it is one in a sea of vintage and thrift stores that line the Ave, but the history that lives within those eclectically decorated walls is unrivaled.

[OPINION] The Nov. 6 general election saw a progressive sweep across Seattle and King County, with progressive democrats taking County Executive, Mayor, City Attorney, and both of Seattle’s at-large City Council seats. This incoming era of leadership reflects the needs of the city hungry for change — and these new elects are ready to get to work.

Dionne Foster, at-large Seattle City Council position 9-elect, and Erika Evans, Seattle City Attorney-elect, ran for their respective offices because they didn’t see enough being done to meet the moment, and they believed in themselves to fight the good fight for our city.

[ARTS + CULTURE] Modesto, the eclectic five-piece band playing the Orange Room on a rainy Friday night, opened their set like an engine revving. A rapid drum beat punched into the first song, “Down Bad Blues.”

The song was a fitting opener, as drummer Maclean Palais laid down the initial beat for a couple short measures, and keyboardist Gavin Westland came in with a quick melodic pattern. Then Hari Sethuraman laid down the central guitar riff, Zachary Leeb layered the bassline, and, once it was all up and kicking, vocalist Alana Taitague started the melody over the top.

[SPORTS] Everything was there for the taking for the Washington football team. Against its bitter rival, the offense failed to take anything.

Against a vaunted opponent, Washington’s defense did its part, but an offensive dud proved to be too much to overcome in a 26-14 loss to No. 5 Oregon on Saturday afternoon. The loss for Washington is its second at home this season after winning 19 straight coming into 2025, and the win all but ensures Oregon a spot in the College Football Playoff.

[ARCHIVES] “It was just packed with people,” Carrol Harris said to me as I sat down with her and her husband, Gary, in their cozy bed and breakfast in Woodinville. “And nobody really sat — we were too busy wandering around.”

I connected with Carrol and Gary through the Woodinville Heritage Society in my search for information about the “forgotten Woodstock,” the Seattle Pop Festival of 1969. The part-time local historians and part-time bed and breakfast owners were also attendees of the festival back in their days as UW students. They invited me out to Woodinville to sit down with them in their gorgeous Hideaway Lodge B&B and to show me the exact site of the festival, less than five minutes away.

[NEWS] The University District Food Bank is heading into the holiday season facing one of its busiest periods yet, as food purchasing costs have nearly quadrupled in four years and new customers jumped 30% in October alone.

The food bank, which serves thousands of households through in-person shopping, satellite pantries, and home deliveries, witnessed a 70% increase in community use compared to early 2023. The supply of donated and purchased food cannot keep pace with this surge in demand, forcing the organization to spend far more to stock its shelves.

[ARTS + CULTURE] After 11 weeks, we have finally reached the end of Season 34 of “Dancing with the Stars,” and the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy has gone to wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin and his partner Witney Carson.

I have been loyally watching each episode of this season, and so have many others, it seems. According to host Alfonso Ribeiro, this finale received 72 million fan votes, which is double what last year’s finale got. Irwin and runner-up Alix Earle also individually received more votes than any other previous contestant. Also in the finale were Jordan Chiles, Dylan Efron, and Elaine Hendrix.
