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.

Seattle quietly fenced off Seven Hills Park for 60 days, citing “negative activity.” Translation: push unhoused neighbors out, then maybe install hostile “amenities” like lights or fences. Residents say the closure punishes everyone who uses the space, from seniors with guitars to kids with bikes to Leaf the cat on his daily walks. Neighbors see it for what it is: the same old anti-homeless playbook, dressed up as a park “reset.”

Two Keiko Green plays hit Seattle this month: Exotic Deadly: Or the MSG Play, a time traveling comedy about cultural identity (with a surreal scene featuring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon), and Hells Canyon, a horror thriller where pregnancy and inherited trauma haunt the stage. In an interview with The Stranger, Green shared how humor cuts through heavy themes and why she wanted to test horror onstage. Both shows highlight her range as one of Seattle’s most compelling playwrights.

The Stranger’s Fall Arts Issue is here, and Arts Editor Emily Nokes says it best: art is whatever we make it to be. In this city of high rents and wack taste from the people with the deepest pockets, artists keep building anyway, claiming space in Chinatown, reviving jazz in Pioneer Square, glowing in neon, releasing records, crowning drag kings, and baking for the diaspora.

Inside you’ll find guides to film, theater, music, books, visual art, and even the best late-summer eats, because summer isn’t over until September 22.

The Stranger’s Fall Arts Issue 2025 is out now.

Seattle’s September food calendar is stuffed. Dan Pelosi, the “gay male Pinterest mom” of comfort food, is bringing his new cookbook Let’s Party to SIFF Uptown. Jyoti and Auyon Mukharji will light up Book Larder with their family’s Heartland Masala. Aran Goyoaga is teaming with J. Kenji López-Alt to prove gluten-free bread deserves a seat at the table. And the C-ID Night Market will flood the streets with lion dancers, K-pop crews, and 90 vendors under the Chinatown gate.

Call it a month of cookbooks, carbs, and late-night street food. September is serving.

Sean Feucht came to Gas Works Park hungry for controversy. What he got instead was a kazoo brigade, q***r joy, and a protest that starved his cameras of the spectacle he craves. His “Revive in 25” rally was billed as a battle on Seattle’s “spiritual battlefield.” In reality it was a flop: one arrest, a thinned-out crowd, and a bad Christian rock show nobody needed.
