“I just love everything about wood, because when you touch it, it brings memory into your hands,” said Bennett. “It’s smooth. There’s a smell to it. It has its own perfume. It’s alive in a lot of ways. And the sustainability of it is renewal — it endures.” www.seattletimes.com/entertainmen...

The old anxiety — are we a real city if we don’t dress like one?—feels dated now, replaced by a new question:What can our particular climate and culture teach fashion?The answer might be as simple as our fair city’s forecast: adaptability, layered with intention. www.seattletimes.com/life/fashion...
