Seattle voters' rejection of a 20-cent fee on plastic and paper bags represents a sound defeat for other efforts in U.S. cities to limit the use of the throwaway bags, plastics industry officials said Wednesday.
A referendum on an ordinance to charge the bag fee at grocery, drug and convenience stores was easily defeated in Tuesday's primary in this liberal city — whose voters are known for taxing themselves to pay for parks, libraries, affordable housing and other causes.

Channing Tatum's new movie Battle in Seattle will premiere in the US some time later this year. Written and directed by Stuart Townsend, Battle in Seattle is based on what was considered to be one of the most incendiary political uprisings in our generation. The movie takes an in-depth look at the five days that rocked the world in 1999 as thousands of demonstrators protested the meeting of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Seattle's streets.

As evidenced in my holiday TV sneak peek, this week's episode of Grey's Anatomy puts the doctors on a fast track that starts on Thanksgiving eve and runs through New Year's Eve. As we all know by now, the Seattle Grace surgeons aren't always big on merriment, but the holidays are always the perfect time to bring out the truth in feelings and relationships.
Meredith bonds with the Chief while Mark learns that he has a teenage daughter.

Biden on Sunday said to donors in Seattle: This is long but worth the read. As scary as all this is, apparently it is not worth covering, yet Obama vacationing and Palin's wardrobe is.
“Mark my words,” the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday.

They're baaaaack! This week on Grey's Anatomy, Meredith, and Izzie make their returns to Seattle Grace/Mercy West, though only Mere is back in scrubs. Izzie heads back to the hospital with her favorite high-school teacher in tow, a sweet guy who's suffering from what appears to be dementia and is constantly referring to Izzie as a pregnant teen.

Stop me if you've heard this one before — Katherine Heigl is going to be leaving Grey's Anatomy for the second time this season. Though Izzie returns to Seattle Grace/Mercy West on tonight's episode (just in time for the arrival of Kim Raver), Heigl is set to take a belated maternity leave next year to spend time with her newly adopted daughter.
I'm all for spending quality time with family, but this seems a bit suspect — especially given how many times we've heard rumors of Heigl's desire to leave the show.
