When "World's Largest Running Store" Road Runner Sports
came to town a few years ago, I ignored the store entirely, continuing to buy my shoes and gear
from one of the local shops. Last week, though, a friend who is the fitness director at Seattle Athletic Club suggested I check out Road Runner in Greenlake. He said I would find
both fit experts and a selection every bit as good as the local shops.

KING 5 meteorologist Rich Marriott is forecasting decreasing showers in the morning, a partly sunny afternoon and a high of 58 for the 2008 Seattle Yacht Club Opening Day of Boating Season. Bikini weather it isn't, but in light of the fact that it was snowing two weeks ago, we'll take it.

Seattle may be famous for its frosty demeanor, but when the Dalai Lama
lands here April 11, news of his arrival will be whispered with the
warm breath of reverence. Aloof as we may be in normal circumstances,
our reserve is sure to melt in the presence of the world's most revered
Buddhist monk.

In recent years, they've been the team we hate to love, a lineup flush
with nice guys who make funny commercials but finish, if not last, then
damn close.

Despite what Mayor Nickels would have us believe, it isn't a
professional sports team that can make or break a city's reputation as
"world-class." As anyone who has been to Europe can tell you, it's a
full-service grocery store in the heart of downtown that makes a city
truly cosmopolitan. And if that grocery store has an escalator? We're talking not just world-class, but head of the class, baby.

Dude. We're totally stoked. Thanks to a pre-winter blast Monday that delivered nearly a foot and a half of snow, the Mount Baker Ski Area will open Thursday. Chairs 3 through 8 in the White Salmon Base Area will run from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
