I'm looking for her owner! She's White with brown patches and brown ears, she's small, maybe 5 -8 lbs at most? Her face is mostly brown with a mainly white muzzle and a white stripe down her head (right down the middle!) she's very cute and sweet, seems to get along okay with other dogs (although mine are making her nervous) and cats (at least she ( Read more... )

Hello, Kentlings! Dog lovers might be interested in Petscapades this weekend at Kent Station. The PR for the event is inexplicably sparse and scattered, but there will be a Dock Dogs competition, pet adoption and licensing, vendors, etc. Pets are of course welcome. Still not sure if we'll be there with Hurricane Gabriel and Tropical Storm ( Read more... )

Kentlings,

A few weeks ago, following our recent discussion of new watering holes, Weaseldad and I decided to give Reds Wine Bar a whirl. We enjoyed it and would go back again, although my husband prefers Shindig's cocktails over wine or beer ( Read more... )

So, anybody here hear about the fatal shooting in the Kent Station area yesterday morning? I hadn't until my commute this morning, when I happened to sit in front of a couple of UW students who were also coming up from Kent. I guess KOMO picked it up but I don't do television news, typically, so this was the first I had heard of it ( Read more... )

Hey, kids - if you like to drink handcrafted local draft microbrews, and would like to do it, you know, locally then it looks like downtown Kent is undergoing a very happy revolution. Nevermind Tavern has just opened on E. Meeker. Our household had already been eagerly anticipating the June opening of a Meeker street outpost of Airways Brewing ( Read more... )

We did indeed take Hurricane Gabriel and Miss Kaylee on the Pet Parade, but since it was so damn cold, they spent most of the time bundled in our jackets. The parade was crazy. The leader was busting out at about 35 mph, and Shawn dubbed the whole thing the Bataan Pet March. I have no idea what the big hurry was, but we were all scattered over a ( Read more... )

So, I was web-browsing around, trying to find out more about the Holiday Bazaar this Friday and Saturday, and who the participating artisans are (and, more importantly, how to become one of them next year -- no luck on that btw), and I come to find that in addition to the bazaar, there's apparently this whole Downtown Kent Winterfest thing going on ( Read more... )

Post title pretty much says it -- I'm looking for a local grocer that sells sliced raw beef bones with the marrow still in them. We've got a new dog and she's just in the adolescent chewing phase, and I think some raw bones would keep her busy for a while. Win-Co and the East Hill Fred Meyer did not have them when I checked -- any other

While visiting Oregon last month we picked up some Tillamook Garlic White Cheddar cheese. It's lovely stuff but we haven't yet found a local market that carries it. If we have to we'll ask the local Fred Meyer or Top if they can get it in, but I was wondering if anyone here has seen it in the wild?

Lifers -

Just a reminder that the First Avenue Block Party is Friday night from 4P-9P (or beyond)! Food, drink, arts and crafts (and maybe ferrets) all crammed into one small block.

Perhaps we'll see you there!
