Sarah Wilke

After more than a decade at contemporary theater On the Boards, Wilke is taking on executive director duties at SIFF. Which you could quite literally call a stage-to-screen adaptation.

Barack Obama

On his way out of the White House, POTUS predicted that the Seahawks would reach the Super Bowl for the third time in four seasons. Thanks, Obama. No, really. Thanks for everything.

Mónica Guzmán

With Anika Anand, she launched “The Evergrey,” an enewsletter that’s meant to reconnect us to our ever-evolving city. It’s like a welcome mat for locals who never left.

The tech vet is sponsoring a $1 million XPrize contest to develop a tool for women to alert authorities when threatened. Must like money and hate sexual violence. So basically everyone.

Kathy Griffin

Dr. Dimitri Christakis
