Anyone can memorize the freeway exits. Knowing which neighborhood claims which teriyaki counter, or which street name quietly separates locals from transplants, takes considerably longer.
Seattle Met has put together a summer crossword built entirely around that kind of knowledge. The clues run through the city’s roads, restaurants and sports heroes, which means it rewards the trivia people pick up by living here rather than by studying a map.
The best part is how little it asks of you. The puzzle plays right on the page, with no login, no signup and no email required. Hit begin and go.
Northwest newbie or Seattle savant?
Whether the answer is thirty years in this city or thirty days, the puzzle is a fair test of where the gaps are. It takes about as long as a coffee break, which makes it an easy addition to a slow summer afternoon.
