Every week the Town Crier blog will look back at Seattle\u2019s near forgotten <\/span><\/i>Town Crier<\/span> magazine to see what was happening then and talk about what\u2019s happening now. One of the largest sections of the original Town Crier was \u201cWhat People Are Doing,\u201d highlighting things like, \u201cLady Gregory\u2019s play, \u2018Spreading the News,\u2019 was given an enthusiastic audience,\u201d and, \u201cthe Broadway Guild gave a large card party at the Army and Navy Club.\u201d In this new series we\u2019re revisiting the old column and tying it to our community\u2019s current happenings, asking: \u201cwhat <\/span><\/i>are <\/span>people doing?\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Today\u2019s entry\u2026<\/p>\n

The February 22, 1919 edition of the <\/span>Town Crier<\/span><\/i> had this bold prediction for 1919, \u201cDoughnuts will be cut very large around the interior and will be loose-fitting and very plain, being entirely without trimming.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

We, at Town Hall, like treats.<\/strong> We had a \u201c<\/span>Pie and Whiskey<\/span><\/a>\u201d event awhile back. We had cookbook author <\/span>Gabrielle Langholtz<\/span><\/a>, too. We had discussions of <\/span>modernist bread and heritage rice<\/span><\/a>, as well. Also? <\/span>Beer<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

We, at Town Hall, like doughnuts (or is it donut<\/a><\/strong>?)<\/strong>. That said, here is a (not comprehensive) list of some fine doughnut shops in our fair city.<\/span><\/p>\n

Daily Dozen Doughnut Company<\/span><\/a>. One of the more important reasons to go to Pike Place Market.<\/span><\/p>\n

General Porpoise<\/span><\/a>. Sure, they\u2019ve got the standard doughnut flavors. But also? Date shake. Rose cream. Peanut butter and jelly. <\/span><\/p>\n

Good Day Donuts<\/span><\/a>. White Center\u2019s got a hidden gem. <\/span><\/p>\n

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts<\/span><\/a>. The one in SODO is an institution now.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mighty-O Donuts<\/span><\/a>. Their treats are made of GMO-free, zero trans fat, vegan, organic ingredients.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rodeo Donut<\/span><\/a>. Hazelnut toffee crunch? Wild huckleberry? Apple bourbon bacon? All of the above, please.<\/span><\/p>\n

Top Pot Doughnuts<\/span><\/a>. Barack Obama ate at Top Pot once. <\/span>So, there\u2019s that<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether the doughnuts of 2019 are loose fitting and very plain, or frosted to the hilt, it makes no difference to us. We just want them in our tummies.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
