The new and improved landscape of Madigan

Each year, the medical needs of the community and servicemembers on Joint Base Lewis-McChord changes dramatically, reflecting ever-evolving lifestyles and habits both on- and off-duty. It's no wonder, then, that medical facilities like Madigan Army Medical Center must continually expand and adjust to keep up with patients' needs. The Ranger

Angels in the field

There are angels participating in almost every race at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM). It's not a secret, nor do the angels hide among the crowd. They're easy to spot in their bright pink shirts, chatting happily at the starting line in a motley group of tricycle racing-chairs and athletes. If you

Music festivals have been on a tear lately in Tacoma. You've got the 253Heart Festival, Squeak and Squawk, NXNW Metal Fest and the Urban Art Festival - among others. The more these events start happening, the more necessary it becomes for each to have its own compelling voice and vision.

The night awaits

Saturday nights in Vancouver's historic Gastown district are all about live music, exceptional cocktails and exquisite cuisine. Forget about history tours and sightseeing, which you can find plenty of during daylight hours -- we're talking about the quintessential nightlife experience, my friends. Located just north of downtown Vancouver, Gastown is the

3uilt Tacoma

ANNOUNCER: Jackie and Dutch head to downtown Tacoma to explore a counter service-style stand-alone eatery within the 7 Seas Brewery warehouse. This sounds crazy, but it is a new concept that is becoming popular throughout the South Sound. Pronounced Built, but spelled 3uilt, they were up for the adventure. JACKIE: Dutch,

Saturday, Aug. 27: Rock At The Dock III

Every promoter claims his or her event will be bigger and better. It's true for Rock At The Dock III in front of Johnny's Dock Restaurant. After last year's capacity show, the City of Tacoma allowed DOCK III promoters Mike Mitchell and Ken Collins to stretch their

There are few things in this world that can make you instantaneously feel warm and cozy. None of these you'll necessarily discover readily available while dining out like say a pup's silky soft fur, the content purr of a kitten, lush velvety blankets or a lover's embrace. As a chill

Saturday, Aug. 27-Sunday, Aug. 28: Grit City Fest

For the first annual Grit City Fest, over half a dozen venues all over town hosted shows. It was a huge undertaking, and the result was attendance that was more scattershot than Henry desires. In preparation for this year's event, the scope of the festival has been reduced and focused. "Instead

I might have been a bit overzealous on our blog, Spew, describing the awesomeness of Saturday's Downtown Block Party. I stand by it. It was Tacoma at its best. And while huddled citizens flourished in creativity in Opera Alley, mere steps away Over The Moon Café continued its path toward

Veterans satisfy South Sound's thirst

With the presence of Joint Base Lewis-McChord and a growing reputation for fine craft beers and spirits, it seems fitting that so many distilleries in Tacoma would be veteran-owned. Started by retired Army Sgt. Andrew Fairchok and former airman Rodney Kaeding, the Old Soldier Distillery brews what their website describes as

Guru, interrupted

QUESTION: My husband is extremely analytical, to the point where he has a negative or argumentative response to almost anything I say - including positive or even insignificant things. Then, when he makes some remark, unless I respond with "I agree" or "uh-huh," he debates me. I've repeatedly asked him
