BAT NIGHT returned to Safeco Field this past Tuesday. Thanks to that paradisical attitude sometimes derided as “Seattle Nice,” no fan-given bats were used to incite riots after the Ms snatched defeat from the jaws of victory yet again.

WE MUST SAY GOODBYE to Seattle Art Supply, most recently of Western Avenue, which had kept local image-makers outfitted with X-Acto blades, rubber cement, framing mattes, and paint brushes since 1892. It promises to resurface as an online-only retailer sometime later this year.
