Today is the first of September, and Seattle is really giving that energy which I appreciate. It was chilly this morning, but has warmed up while still maintaining a nice fall-esque breeze. Someone tell me where to get the best chai latte, stat!

Since it’s now September, spooky season has officially begun and we’re starting with a movie that made an entire generation afraid of the woods. See The Blair Witch Project at The 5th Avenue Theatre on 10/11, followed by a live Q&A with all three lead actors. Enter to win tickets!*

IN THE FUTURE

LOCALS ONLY

• Spice Waala is opening a new Indian cafe in Wallingford called Janta. They don’t have a set open date yet, but they said that they’re nearly done with getting the space ready and final inspections, so hopefully it’s soon!

• The cooler weather is officially coming with the start of the new month. Tomorrow the rain will start and stick around through Friday and possibly beyond. I dunno about you, but my backyard is in desperate need of a soak, so I’m excited for this!
