At the downtown Seattle Art Walk this month, I was blown away by the urban landscapes of Christopher Hoff on display at the Linda Hodges Gallery.

Tracy Boyd is a Seattle-based painter and one of the nicest people you could ever meet. Her most recent paintings showcase a real breakthrough in her progression as a painter. She’s gone bigger, bolder, and more aggressively abstract. I think that it’s working out for her (as you’ll be able to see by the photos [...]

“The Puget News” is proud to introduce our first author interview! Ryan Boudinot, author of “The Littlest Hitler” was gracious enough to talk about his darkly comical collection of short stories, channel a little Yoda, and tell me which dead people he’d like to kick it with. Just a reminder, if you like what you’re [...]
