When it comes to mastering the brooding, moody stillness of the Pacific Northwest, few artists capture the piercing light and haunting shadows of the region as well as Damien Jurado. For the past 17 years, Jurado has humbly churned out a catalog of stark but sweeping masterpieces that have...

Big Head Todd recently released a Robert Johnson tribute album, but it's another Johnson—Jack—who owes the bulk of his success to Todd Park Mohr & Co. The imposing Korean frontman proved that it was possible to be a collegiate smooth-jam fave without having
to send one's guitar into...

Is it Jeff or Jeffrey? With his regular celebrity roasts on Comedy Central, we've known the comic as Jeffrey Ross. But if he prefers the shorter, punchier iteration for his Jeff Ross Roasts America tour, who are we to argue? He's funny by either moniker, especially when trashing figures like...

You have to kick aside the fallen leaves to find a small marker identifying the Department of Forensic Morphology Annex, a four-year-old installation just south of the UW Law School. Students scurry by to their classes, seemingly oblivious (or accustomed) to the stainless-steel blob, which...

Dante's :
Every week Monday, 9:00pm
|
It’s a shame Dante’s in the U-District only offers karaoke on Monday nights, because they have the best stage for crooners in town. There are two levels that open up to the bottom floor where the mic is set up - singing your favorite tune on a packed night with people from all sides...

Every week Thursday, Friday from Thu., November 10 until Sun., April 1, 11:00am-9:00pm
|
I'm not sure why the big bamboo assemblage that is Compound has been shoved to the wall in its atrium gallery. When first deployed by Cambodian-born artist Sopheap Pich at the Singapore Biennial earlier this year, it was presented in the round, so you view it from all sides. In its new...

The original UW campus downtown was once covered with old-growth timber, as was its present location when the school moved north in 1895. Now, as that institution continues its inexorable sprawl south of Pacific Street toward Portage Bay, New York artist Brian Tolle reminds us of that arboreal...

Kane Hall :
Daily, 7:00am-5:00pm
|
As you climb to the second floor of Kane Hall, Jeffrey Simmons' Echo, a circular painting 11 feet in diameter, rises like a moon over the stairway railing and dramatically takes command of the hallway by the Walker Ames Room. A common (and reasonable) complaint about abstract painting is...

James Turrell's Skyspace stands on two concrete pillars in the Henry's erstwhile sculpture courtyard. On the exterior, thousands of LED fixtures under the structure's frosted glass skin create slowly shifting colors, making the pavilion a spectacular piece of public art every night. Inside, the...

For anyone wanting to escape the drunken frat boys hanging outside Earl's on the Ave., Cafe Solstice offers a retreat with plenty of hookup potential—for those digging artsy girls or vintage-clad guys pouring over chemistry notes, that is. Just like its name suggests, Solstice is a rarity:...

Their website claims they make the best drinks in Seattle. If "best" translates to "strongest," it's no lie, and a claim that UW students will devotedly attest to. The $4.50 nightly specials are what cause the most commotion—especially a legendary Long Island Iced Tea (Monday) that’s...

Dante's :

|
|
While not as on top of campus as the stately College Inn or as Husky-centric as the sporty Duchess, Dante’s remains the most collegiate of UW bars, because it’s the only bar that will remind you of what bars are like in tiny college towns. It’s dark, cavernous, and can be...

At first glance, Finn's might appear to be your run-of-the-mill Americanized "Irish" pub, complete with trivia night, karaoke and an official happy hour menu that only reinforces the thought: $3 drinks and $4 apps materialize both early (4-6 p.m.) and late (10 p.m.-midnight). But the bar's...

Ivar’s Salmon House has one of the best outdoor patios in the city. Sitting at the north end Lake Union, you watch kayakers and sailboats traversing the lake before a backdrop of a striking view of Seattle’s downtown. The whole experience is more casual than the harried pace at Ivar's...
