Sustainable Ballard is holding a bike rack design contest that any Ballardite with a pencil and an active imagination is invited to enter. Simply draw up a bicycle rack that is intuitive to use, allows U-style locks, isn't a hazard to kids or pedestrians, and looks ultra-nifty.

Located in a handsome vintage bungalow at the corner of Summit and Mercer on Capitol Hill, Cairo is a gallery and boutique with a lifeforce worthy of the triumphant city it's named for.

A cat in a garden is a romantic, poetic image. A cat in a garden is a plant-chomping, turd-dropping nightmare. It really depends on your point of view.

Nothing brightens a gray June day -- and we've had our share of them --
like a bunch of colorful flowers. But since the blooms in your garden
aren't quite ready for cutting, a bouquet from TerraBella Flowers fits
the bill nicely.
