OTD in 1994, the death of Kurt Cobain was announced. Like many events, I remember where I was when I heard the news. Seeing Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Alice In Chains in person at small clubs in Seattle was an experience! "All Apologies" ~ Nirvana www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWmk...

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc... Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

In case you missed "Life on the Moon," a @bakertheaterworkshop production, @grayharrison_ reviews the "family drama that centers on the relationship between siblings Piper, an 18-year-old with autism, and her older brother Spencer, who has just returned home from the army for the holidays."

Vera (they/them) is an artist through and through. You’ll find them with other visual makers at DIY spaces, enjoying music, or advocating for Queer/Trans and/or Disabled liberation anywhere around town.

Andre (he/him) has an eye towards politics and geeky goings-on when he’s not busy with @wholewashington. His writing leans towards community-oriented events and spaces where solidarity reigns. theevergreenecho.org... #evergreenecho #echothearts #theecho #arts #pnw #MeetOurCreatives

JeLisa (she/her) is a kickass fashionista pursuing a degree in fashion through a sustainability lens. Her column, “Evergreen Style,” explores local popups, shows, and designers working to mend, upcycle, and recycle textiles as well as make fashion accessible to everyone.

Lynette (she/her) is an artist, community organizer, foodie, and lover of life. She and her family regularly check out the restaurants you should know about, and she’s the busiest theater director and consummate professional you’d ever meet.

Zach (he/him) is a local cinephile and film critic who enjoys writing about local filmmaking, film festivals, and beloved neighborhood movie theaters. His column, “Sound Cinema,” has taken him all over the Puget Sound to some of the oldest movie houses in Washington.

We interrupt our Meet the Creatives series for this timely think piece from @centipedekris.bsky.social: theevergreenecho.org/echo/account...

Calista (she/her) is a master of her craft and enjoys reading, dance, and theatre. In 2025, she was our principal Gregorys correspondent and moved us with her original serial, “The Divided Line.” An avid lover of the arts, Calista’s descriptions are always sure to keep you enraptured in a scene.

Max (he/him) is a poet and he knows it (go ahead and groan at the rhyme)! He enjoys getting to know Seattle with his fiancée, creative writing, and reporting how poetry has positively affected people’s lives. And a smattering of gay culture stories too, Queens.

Kristel (she/her) is a force of nature! She stands in solidarity with all in need of liberation while simultaneously moshing to some hardcore music at Seattle’s best venues. A zine creator, activist, barista, and truth-sayer, she’s here to make the resistance punk again.

Gray (she/her) is enjoying her time relishing life and getting to know all of the wonderful and under-celebrated experiences Seattle has to offer. She’s keen on films, music, nightlife, horror, creative writing, and more.

Parker (he/him) is the MOST wholesome person. Ever. He has two columns: “Parker’s Pages” and “Trans* Talk”. In them, he speaks to life’s moments great and small, and always seems to find a bright or silly side.

Izzy (they/them) will have you geeking out over horror movies. Or have you rolling on the floor laughing at their newly published book about monsters punching TERFs.

The Echo is proudly AI-free and has been since Day 1. Join us as we celebrate our amazing humans with our 12 Days of Creatives series!
