Seattle’s local primary elections are heating up!!! We’ve got seven city council seats on the ballot, four of them are total free-for-alls, and the results will determine the direction of city politics for the foreseeable future. Kind of a big deal, to be quite honest! Luckily for you, the Washington Bus and The Stranger have joined forces ONCE AGAIN to present Candidate Survivor, a spicy showdown that lets YOU decide that future. Come to Neumos to watch council candidates from all over the city sweat as they pound (vegan) hot wings under intense interrogation, lip sync for their lives, and try to wow you with a talent show—all under the strong, chaotic, and I would even say comfortably sensual direction of our host, Seattle attorney general of drag, Miss Texas 1988.

In Searching for Savanna: The Murder of One Native American Woman and the Violence Against the Many, Los Angeles-based writer Mona Gable digs into the 2017 disappearance of Savanna LaFontaine-Greywind, a pregnant 22-year-oldmember of the Spirit Lake Sioux Tribe. (The disappearance and murder of Native American women, due in large part to government inaction and discrimination, is an epidemic so common it has its own acronym. Read about it.) For this talk and live podcast taping, Gable will be joined onstage by Emily Washines, Lucy Smartlowit, Patricia Whitefoot, and Robyn Pebeahsy, hosts of the War Cry podcast, which sheds light on MMIW cases.

This interactive comedy show wants to help you feel better about your daily struggles. Aww, thanks, comedy show! Audience members will be prompted to jot down their woes on slips of paper before the performance. Comedians will then draw them from a box, using the audience’s unique problems to create an improvised set. Don’t worry, they’re not really laughing at your expense—it’s more like a rare moment of catharsis, where you’ll chuckle at the batshittery of your own life alongside a bunch of strangers. If that sounds like your bag, don’t miss it—you’ll also get to see some of the best local stand-ups, like Imani Denae, Brent Lowrey, and Chris Mejia, strut their stuff at Comedy/Bar, an “intimate, speakeasy-like” new comedy venue in Capitol Hill.

During the pandemic, birding became popular, and has stayed that way—it turns out humans love a real-life game of Pokémon. If you feel like stepping up your animal-identifying game, though, I have a humble suggestion for you: Fish. Namely, the fish in the Salish Sea, which boasts 260 species (the jawless hagfish, the weirdo ocean sunfish, and more) to please even the most discerning ichthyophile. Theodore Pietsch, professor emeritus in the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences at UW, and James Wilder Orr, a fisheries biologist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, will drop by Pioneer Square shop Arundel Books to help get you started. The pair’s latest book, A Field Guide to Fishes of the Salish Sea, is a must-have for wannabe fish scouters, so get your fins on a copy—also, publisher Chatwin Books will randomly select one event attendee to receive a year-long membership to the Seattle Aquarium.

Former Stranger contributor Mike Nipper wrote: “They were contemporaries of SoCal punk bands like the Germs and Black Flag, but X’s relevance and influence can still be heard draped across the sounds of the rock underground. I reckon you could say, even as their music is deeply rooted in, well, roots rock, at this point they MIGHT be considered roots rock themselves. And don’t forget they were/are universally loved by the nerdy college kids, punks, AND the goths. I bet it’s safe to say 1970s Exene is prolly still an archetype.” The iconic duo will return to Seattle with a blend of classics and more recent material from their 2020 album, Alphabetland, and my fingers are crossed that they’ll play their 1981 anthem “We’re Desperate.” New wave veterans the English Beat and ’90s ska punks Save Ferris will open.

Japanese American stand-up Fumi Abe will stop by Seattle to “use humor as a rhetorical tool to inform and persuade mass audiences,” according to the show’s promotional materials. That does not make Abe’s set sound like fun at all, so I’ll take a stab at it: Abe is a noted spanking researcher and the host of the Cash Cuties podcast, in which he critiques his friends’ credit card statements, which sounds like a hilarious nightmare. He’s also written for NPR’s Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me! and acts up on Twitter sometimes—two attributes of an excellent comedian. His set should serve up more tomfoolery and audience exploration. LC

Written before (side A) and after (side B) the birth of her first child, La Luz frontwoman Shana Cleveland’s third solo release, Manzanita, is considerably more personal than her Afrofuturist-fueled second album, Night of the Worm Moon. Inspired by her life in the California wilderness, Cleveland has described the album as a “supernatural love album” that examines her own relationship to the insect world, ghosts, and evil spirits. Also unlike her two previous albums, Manzanita employs lush Lee Hazelwood-esque production that’s heavy with strings, synths, and eerie percussion. I can’t wait to hear what these songs sound like live! Be sure to catch an opening set from singer-songwriter Will Sprott (who also happens to be Cleveland’s partner). AV

Over the last five years, original vinyl copies of the Cowboy Junkies’ The Trinity Sessions have skyrocketed in price. Along with late ’80s rock (or dare I say adult contemporary) bands like R.E.M., their records have gone from a blessed dollar bin find to a never-in-stock favorite that’ll cost you upwards of 30-50 bucks. This tells me that people are finally catching on! The band’s sound is blissfully light and breezy with Americana roots and dreamy, whispery vocals (à la Mazzy Star and Yo La Tengo). The quartet will return to Seattle with tracks from their new album, Such Ferocious Beauty, which strays from their original sound with darker lyrics and experimental song structure (but I bet they’ll play some of the old stuff too).

How much has changed in a year for the Seahawks?

How much has changed in a year for the Seahawks?

With the end of the regular season and the arrival of the offseason for the Seattle Seahawks, all eyes have turned to the future to discuss what to expect when the 2025 season arrives, and how the Hawks will navigate the offseason.

One of the first pieces of business for the Seahawks, as noted on Field Gulls Wednesday, is to address the salary cap and come into compliance for the new league year in mid March. With that in mind, the discussion invariably turned to which players the teams could opt to move on from in the coming weeks, and a variation of a common theme was immediately posted into the comments.

Without reworking any deals (or trades), simply cutting Lockett, DreMont Jones, Noah Fant, Jenkins, and Roy Rob-Harris would clear up nearly $50M in cap space.

There has been no shortage of such proposals regarding how to address the salary cap issues the Hawks face in 2025, and these names are obviously the easiest path to cap compliance, which is why they are so often noted in the comments or on social media. Add in proposals to trade or restructure DK Metcalf or Geno Smith, and the discussion is one that has already been had multiple times.

However, before jumping in to discuss 2025, this is a step back to look at the 2024 offseason and then look at the proposed changes through a different lens and one specific question. So, turning the page back to the 2024 offseason, here is a list of the players whose contracts John Schneider in order to make the cap work in 2024:

Geno Smith: $9.6M roster bonus converted to signing bonus, pushing $4.8M into 2025
DK Metcalf: $11.875M of base salary converted to signing bonus, pushing $9.5M into 2025-2028
Tyler Lockett: $8M signing bonus, pushing $4M into 2025
Dre’Mont Jones: $9.875M converted to signing bonus, pushing $7.4M into 2025-2027
Noah Fant: $9M signing bonus, pushing $4.5M into 2025
Rayshawn Jenkins: $5M signing bonus, pushing $2.5M into 2025

In addition, during the season the Hawks then traded for:

Roy Robertson-Harris: 2026 6th round pick
Ernest Jones: 2025 4th round pick

The loss of a pair of Day 3 picks is not entirely irrelevant because Day 3 picks have the opportunity to turn into something, but the reality is most Day 3 picks never amount to anything in the NFL so trading a pair of them for 855 snaps over half a season is not a horrible use of draft capital. Simply for comparison purposes, Rashaad Penny played just 792 snaps for the Seahawks during his five seasons in Seattle after being selected in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Or, more recently 2022 second round pick Dee Eskridge logged 444 offensive and special teams snaps for the Seahawks during his three seasons with the team.

Getting back to the discussion at hand, though, the reality is that the majority of players on the list of those that many fans are ready to release in order to come into cap compliance are the exact same players the team either signed or restructured last year.

That, of course, raises the question about what has changed over the course of the year?

If a player was seen as part of the solution in 2024 to the point that John Schneider was willing to borrow against the future in order to keep that particular puzzle piece on the roster, then have things truly changed so much in the last few months that that player is now a part of the problem? Is a player who was just acquired for draft capital in October already no longer a part of future plans?

Things have certainly changed over the course of the past year, but if almost all of the players signed or restructured by the front office in the spring of 2024 are no longer viewed as part of the solution for 2025, where is the disconnect? Was the 2024 offseason even that much worse upon review? Or is this simply a new era in salary cap management for the Seahawks with former New Orleans Saints cap specialist Joey Laine on staff where cap space is fungible and Seattle is now the Big Easy Northwest?

There are certainly more questions that can be asked, but the reality is that until the team shows the direction it will take in the second season under head coach Mike Macdonald it will all be guesswork because the foundation of expectations that exists was set by the previous regime, and it’s a new era.

Pet sitter, family of slain dog walker advocate for neighborhood security

A Seattle pet sitter injured in a hit-and-run says she knew Ruth Dalton, the beloved dogwalker who was killed in a carjacking last August. She’s calling for more security cameras in neighborhoods.

SEATTLE – A hit-and-run driver is still on the loose after seriously injuring a pet sitter on Christmas Day while she was out walking her cat near Seward Park in Seattle.

The crash came on the heels of the death of another dog walker this summer, Ruth Dalton, who died alongside her dog Prince, after Seattle Police say she was carjacked and run over by Jahmed Haynes.

“I have a lot of fractures that have to heal before I can learn to walk again,” said Karen Miely, still recovering from a hit-and-run from a care facility in Seattle.

Miely was just transferred to a long-term care facility recently after spending several days in the hospital.

“The biggest milestone would probably be getting the bar out of my pelvis,” said Miely.

She was hit at an intersection near her home while walking her cat Max, also known as Maximus Rex. He escaped unharmed and ran home.

Local perspective:

Miely also knew Ruth Dalton, another local dogwalker and pet caretaker, who was killed last August.

“Ruth used to walk five at a time,” said Miely.

Dalton died after Jahmed Haynes allegedly carjacked her and ran her over as she was caring for several dogs.

“It’s heartbreaking what happened to that family,” said Miely.

“When I heard the story she was hit on Christmas Day, I was like ‘What the heck?’ It’s like open season on dog walkers in Seattle,” said Melanie Roberts, Ruth Dalton’s granddaughter.

Years before the homicide, Dalton was also injured by a random driver, according to her granddaughter.

“She was starting into the crosswalk, and had seen a car a couple blocks away and she thought that they would have seen her in the crosswalk and it was an elderly woman, and she did not see grandma and she hit her in the crosswalk,” said Roberts.

Roberts says Dalton suffered knee injuries.

“My grandma was fortunate that the woman that hit her in 2009, she stopped and it was an honest to God accident, to hear that Karen was hit and left was disheartening,” said Roberts.

Miely wishes more security cameras were rolling where she was hit. Roberts believes Dalton would have advocated for that.

“Almost like neighborhood watch cameras. When she saw cameras around, she felt safer,” said Roberts.

Meantime, an online fundraiser is raising money for Miely’s recovery. She hopes to be home in April.

“I’m thinking, well, that’s around my birthday, I’d like to go home and see my cat. He’s patiently, he’s just being such a good boy,” said Miely.

She says investigators told her a car part was found in the area after the crash. However, it’s unclear if it’s related. FOX 13 reached out to Seattle Police for any updates. We are waiting to hear back.

Miely is continuing to ask anyone with security camera footage from around 7 p.m. on December 25 in the area of South Orcas Street and 51st or 52nd Avenue South to check their cameras and share footage with police if they haven’t done so already.

Report: Cowboys request interview with Seattle assistant Leslie Frazier

The Cowboys have requested an interview with Seahawks assistant head coach Leslie Frazier, Todd Archer of ESPN reports.

They have an interview scheduled with former Jets head coach Robert Saleh for later this week, per Archer.

If both interviews are in person, that would satisfy the Rooney Rule and allow the Cowboys to make a hire at any point thereafter.

Frazier was the head coach of the Vikings from 2011-13 after taking over as interim coach for the final six games of 2010. He went 21-32-1. This is his first interview request in this hiring cycle.

Frazier, who began his NFL coaching career in 1999, was the Bucs’ defensive coordinator (2014-15), the Ravens’ secondary coach (2016) and the Bills’ defensive coordinator (2017-22) after his stint with the Vikings. He was out of the league in 2023 before Mike Macdonald hired him in Seattle before this season.

Jerry Jones’ eight previous hires for the Cowboys have been either former head coaches and/or have a tie with Jones. Frazier and Saleh both have previous head coaching experience.
