Born from the Instagram-famous comic strip “Seattle Walk Report,” the book Seattle Walk Report: An Illustrated Walking Tour Through 23 Seattle Neighborhoods (August 13, Sasquatch Books, $19.95) by creator Susanna Ryan gives a whimsical tour through Seattle’s neighborhoods. Like the comic strip, the book focuses on smaller details discovered along the way, such as cute dogs, big rocks, mysterious debris and lesser known historical facts. With new comics and tips for how to get the most out of your urban hike, the book shows you the quirky side of Seattle and encourages you to explore the city on foot and with an open mind.

Focused on fall arts and travel, it’s full of inspiring places to go,…
Seattle Rock Band Stereo Embers Rekindles for One Night
After four years apart, the quartet reunites for a hometown show.
Bands break up, dissolve, or otherwise drift apart all the time, for all sorts of reasons. No matter what the impetus for the split, though, fans will naturally conjure images of scorched-earth implosions like Fleetwood Mac or Oasis—and optimists will note that even those two bands eventually reunited. In the case of Stereo Embers, their…
