July 20 brought a night of rain after a week of rain, which meant Zoobilee revelers were either covered up by their umbrellas or wet. But a few savvy attendees buffed up their best boots and brought their sense of humor to the event, which featured plenty of heat from fire

Best kept secret This place has such great eats, and it’s Tacoma’s only vegan restaurant. Quickie Too is my hangover cure and you really won’t miss a meat. I’m afraid that once people figure it out it might not be the same, but it’s against my lack of religion to keep

Recently circumstances forced me to step in and cover one of my server’s shifts. I like to serve. The money can be really good. However, my skills are a little rusty, and while the job of a restaurant server is not the most challenging job out there, it does take
