Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl Afterglow: BOOMtown

In the sum­mer of 2012, at the height of the pos­si­bil­i­ty of a return of an NBA bas­ket­ball team to the Seat­tle mar­ket, I sug­gest­ed the city need­ed to quit focus­ing on the chal­lenges that come with build­ing a new are­na (and NBA and NHL fran­chis­es) and open its vision­ary eyes to the oppor­tu­ni­ties and…

Seattle Mariners still a hit with market adults

Pho­to by Phil Sny­der I’ve been toss­ing around which top­ic to tack­le first as my open­ing post in the Seat­tle Media Maven blog. I received the sign this past week when Ama­zon announced The Art of Field­ing, a bewitch­ing, base­ball-themed first nov­el by Chad Har­bach, as the best book of the year. Add to that…
