Pioneer Square’s First Thursdays aren’t exactly a hidden gem: The art walks have established themselves as a go-to, cross-cultural gathering site, drawing tens of thousands of participants into a vibrant civic ritual that’s equal parts fashion show, street party, night market, and art exhibit.

But how did the buzzy event come to be? And, more specifically, how did it manage to get its start and take off in Seattle, a city sometimes struggling to shake off sleepy and “freeze”-y stereotypes?

In a thoroughly reported piece for CHUM News, journalist Jonathan Zwickel (@zwickelicious) dove into the history of First Thursdays: a vivid, character-laden chronology that can’t be separated from Pioneer Square’s eventful past. He interviewed major gallerists, artists, real-estate moguls, and others to get the backstory, and map out what might come next.

I’ve been looking forward to this World Cup since the US was announced as one of the host countries along with Canada and Mexico 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇲🇽. The past six weeks have been a dream delivered. The opportunity to celebrate on a global level, where the noise of our media and governments take a back seat to the sounds of cheer and chant. Where we are united in game, and attention, and spirit, and passion, and study, and good calls and bad calls, and victory and heartbreak, in something really more than just sports. It’s one of my favorite examples of human connection. Thank you to everyone who joined me on this adventure, especially my travel teammates (Zurdos FC), who all skillfully contributed a unique and harmonious value. See you in four years. Vamos! 🇪🇸🇵🇹🇲🇦⚽️❤️💋

The Founding Class is bigger than one industry or one path.

It brings together voices across film, music, fashion, gaming, tech, media, art, business, wellness, activism, and culture. The founding Class features people building at different levels, in different ways, with different experiences.

That’s what makes this room valuable.

@cre8tesummit isn’t about recycled advice or polished success stories. It’s a rare opportunity to hear directly from people who’ve actually built things:

What worked.
What failed.
What changed everything.
And what they’d do differently now.

The goal isn’t just inspiration.
It’s leaving with real filed notes.

Better systems.
Stronger infrastructure.
Clearer strategy.
New relationships.
And deeper understanding of how to monetize and multiply what to make.

Join us in Seattle May 14-15th, with a special screening of ‘Can You Stand the Rain?’, an original film by director @edenmarryshow.

Meet more of The Founding Class of speakers...

The people behind platforms, culture, media, and moments that shaped what this space looks like today…Now they’re all in one room.

We’re heartbroken to share the news that multi-talented Seattle vocalist, percussionist and songwriter Kenny Hill recently passed away. Kenny was an integral part of the band Robbie Hill’s Family Affair, along with Light in the Attic’s ‘Wheedle’s Groove’ series which documented Seattle’s soul and funk scene during the 1960s, ‘70s and ‘80s — thanks to DJ Supreme La Rock.

As a youngster, Kenny worked at his family’s restaurant Hills Brothers BBQ in Seattle, alongside his brothers Robbie and Will and cousin Zebdee. In 1971, the Hill brothers and Zebedee would form Robbie Hill’s Family Affair with vocalist Bernadette Bascom, bassist Danny Hays, guitarist Phil Martindale, and saxophonist William Hopkins, amongst others. Their tune “I Just Want To Be (Like Myself)” became a local hit, topping the charts at KYAC for three consecutive weeks, while the band would open for national touring bands including Tower of Power and Curtis Mayfield, and later back the Main Ingredient on the Dinah Shore Show. The track “Don’t Give Up,” masterfully composed by Kenny and recorded at RCA Studios in Los Angeles in January 1975 sat unreleased for decades until it saw the light of day in 2013 (Thanks to Rob Santos). It’s a track that we often return to... both inspiring and heavy, the song remains a spiritual soul epic. Take a listen and remember Kenny’s voice and music.

Kenny, we’ll miss you, rest in peace.

We’re sending a big hug to Kenny’s friends and loved ones.

Kenny’s family set up a GoFundMe, asking for support for the family. Every bit helps if you’re able to contribute.

🐾 I’m not sure how I missed @zwickelicious Jonathan Zwickel’s Seattle Times essay on loosing his dog Edison! The story, “A writer looks ahead to a life of adventures without man’s best friend” beautifully captures how interwoven we can become with our pets and how devastating it can be to loose them. 🐾

I was touched when he wrote:

“My love for the spectacular landscapes of the West grew alongside my love for Edison; the two are forever entwined. I admired how he moved through the world - elegant but effortless, considerate but self-possessed, seemingly tireless, ever curious. I wanted to be like him.”

🦋 How amazing our animals are in our lives and they really can be some of our best teachers. 🦋

The loss of them can be heart-wrenching. It is so fascinating the nuanced relationships that each of us carry with our pets that make them so exceptional. The fact that Jonathan found Edison who loved the Wild West as much as he did and who modeled to him qualities that he wanted to grow in himself - so touching. It’s amazing to have these beings come into our lives, share so many experiences with us and then we have to be with the void of their presence in our day-to-day after they are gone.

It’s not easy. Life can certainly be brutal. Sending love to all of you whom have lost your cherished pets!

None of us had any idea what we were getting ourselves into. Team Zion Bound ran and power hiked our way to the 🥇 mixed masters team at #ragnartrailzion 2025. Trail running under the moon 🌙 and stars ✨is unforgettable. Plus @thezionnationalpark 🤩 wow. But the best part was our team, sharing tents and snacks and learning the mysterious ways of the Ragnarian, together 💪 🏃‍♀️ 🏃🏻‍♂️ 🏕️ 🔥

General chaos ensues at an early show at The Velvet Elvis in Seattle, sometime around 1997. I spy with my little eye @adjacent and @jrock_lamacchia rocking out in the audience. The Velvet Elvis was a mainstay of the Seattle music scene. While venues were being shut down right and left under Seattle’s draconian Teen Dance Ordinance, the Velvet Elvis remained relatively unscathed and available for the all ages scene. For more on the Teen Dance Ordinance, please listen to Let the Kids Dance podcast by @zwickelicious @kuow and @npr - a quick Google search will find it for you. Highly recommended!
