3/26/19: EXHIBIT A FOR ALASKAN WAY
Mar 25th, 2019 by Clark Humphrey

Thoughts on the Viaduct’s demise by an artist said demise will likely indirectly displace; a wedding at the ICE jail; state Dems propose an ‘extraordinary profits’ tax; remember when Apple was an ‘underdog’ company?

Mar 10th, 2019 by Clark Humphrey

Sen. Elizabeth Warren wants to break up Amazon and other tech giants; a ‘YouTube celebrity’ causes mass mall mayhem; ex-students loot the Art Institute; another 737 Max 8 has crashed.

Dec 13th, 2018 by Clark Humphrey

Remembering all the orcas caught for display in private aquaria; Inslee’s new budget (and tax) plan; Amazon wants to put a spy-cam on your doorbell; Dave Reichert’s a GOP suck-up to the end.

10/16/18: PAUL GARDNER ALLEN, 1953-2018
Oct 15th, 2018 by Clark Humphrey

One of Seattle’s (and the world’s) most prominent people passes. Also: KeyArena razing starts; more deliberate far-right violence; dams vs. orcas.

10/8/28: HOOP DREAMS
Oct 7th, 2018 by Clark Humphrey

Sonics nostalgia on display; more national political nightmares; towns where Amazon’s good for physical retailers.

10/5/18: MOTION, STOPPED
Oct 4th, 2018 by Clark Humphrey

Mr. ‘Claymation’ dies; who cares about the NBA anymore?; Viaduct razing will be fast and loud; recalling the ‘Infamous Kitsap Ferry Riot’.

5/23/18: THE CONCRETE FACTS
May 22nd, 2018 by Clark Humphrey

Still more public-works budgets busted; Seattle and the ‘dream of the ’90s’; the cost of Sawant’s city-printed rally posters; a new apt. complex in the wrong colors.

5/21/18: LOSING YOUR ‘HEAD’?
May 20th, 2018 by Clark Humphrey

Anti-head-tax campaign begins with big funding; kayakers vs. pipeline redux; Susan Hutchison redux; Seattle’s not immune to hate-talk after all.

3/19/18: TOTE THAT BARGE, ER, DRYDOCK
Mar 18th, 2018 by Clark Humphrey

A strange sight in Elliott Bay; should tech titans be split up?; a new angle to the 4Culture clash; solar panels at an ex-coal mine.

Inside another dying Sears; Sherman Alexie’s apology and counter-claims; making the ‘green’ cannabis trade less white; Seattle’s past attempts at an NHL team.

12/4/17: IN THE CARDS

Starting your news week: The woman behind a political card game; local reactions to GOP tax-scam bill; fish-farm salmon still out there; school funding solved at last?

MISCmedia MAIL for 10/5/16: AUTUMNAL ODYSSEY
Oct 5th, 2016 by Clark Humphrey

We at #MISCmediaMAIL believe the Northwest autumn isn’t to be endured or survived but savored. We additionally sort out alleged conservative local-media bias; changes at SIFF; not-really-recyclable bags; ethnic emoticons; and a candle that supposedly smells like a “new Mac.”

MISCMedia MAIL for 8/15/16: STRAIGHTENING OUT THE ‘KNKX’
Aug 14th, 2016 by Clark Humphrey

We can’t make sense of another senseless killing. But we do attempt to figure out KPLU’s strange new name; homeless health-care running low on funds; a big local sports weekend; and a craftsperson making “simple wooden caskets.”

ROOM AT THE IN (AND OUT) FOR ONE-FIVE
Jan 2nd, 2015 by Clark Humphrey

this year's space needle fireworks were sponsored by t-mobile and heavily emphasized the color 't-mobile magenta.'

As promised previously, MISCmedia is back for two-ought-one-five with a new commitment to try and make sense (or at least document the nonsense) of Life in the Demitasse Size City.

To start things off, and for the 29th consecutive year (really!), we proudly present the MISCmedia In/Out List, the most trusted (and only accurate) list of its kind in this and all other known media relay systems.

As always, this list operates under the premise that the future is not necessarily linear. It compiles what will become torrid and tepid in the coming year, not necessarily what’s torrid and tepid now. If you believe everything hot now will just keep getting hotter, I’ve got some RadioShack stock to sell you.
