95 Neighborhood Profiles
What’s the best neighborhood for you? To help you navigate Seattle’s real estate market, we scoped out the deals and hot spots in and out of the city, the folks shaping our communities, and changes the coming years will bring. And we got the low-down on your current (and future) neighbors—from their pets to their politics to the cars they drive. Next, a Lynnwood woman struggles with the urban development of her diverse, cosmopolitan community incubating among affordable ramblers, modest shopping strips, and remnant forests. Tess Gallagher, the widow of acclaimed Northwest writer Raymond Carver, draws fire from the New York publishing establishment for her plans to publish early drafts of her late husband’s beloved short stories. Plus: Outdoor Dining Guide; a trip to Spokane (yes, that Spokane); and a chat with the radio censorship guru himself, Dr. Demento. Cover illustration by Shawn Wolfe
