Apple Cup 2010

The latest date yet, this year's Apple Cup—the annual football game between rivals University of Washington Huskies and Washington State University Cougars—is happening Saturday, Dec. 4 in Pullman, Wash.

With the first rivalry game played in 1900, the Huskies currently hold the trophy after last year's shut-out of the Cougars.

Who will take the trophy home this year? Tickets are available for the event here.

Reserve Thanksgiving rooms soon!

Although October is the time of pumpkins and candy, Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Soon, orange and black will be changed out for brown and gold, ghosts and goblins for turkeys and pilgrims.

Reserve your room soon at Hotel Bellevue and in addition to a relaxing stay in the luxurious hotel, you will also have full access to the Bellevue Club—including our fitness classes after you eat that extra slice of grandma's apple pie.

The holidays are coming.

Are you ready?

With family and friends coming to town, you might find yourself a little stressed about where to put all those people. Even if you have room, extra people underfoot can drain your energy.

Why not have your holiday guests stay at Hotel Bellevue? Guests have full access to the Bellevue Club and all of its facilities including tennis courts, two indoor pools, four workout studios and more.

The best part? Bellevue Club members and their family and friends receive 20 percent off their reservations through Dec. 30.

Are you 13.1 or 26.2?

One of the largest marathon/half-marathon races in the Northwest is less than two months away. There is still time to register for the Seattle Marathon or Half Marathon, happening Sunday, Nov. 28.

The marathon started in 1970 when University of Washington friends decided to hold their own marathon. While the first Seattle Marathon had 38 runners, this year's event is expected to draw 14,000 participants.

Not a runner? Sign up for the walking marathon or half. Not quite ready to go the full 13.1 or 26.2? There is a 5k race and a Kids Marathon on Saturday, Nov. 27. And, if you don't want to participate in a race but would still like to get involved, there are a number of volunteer opportunities available.

Get all the details for this great event at the Seattle Marathon website.

Fashionable Success

From green to red to purple, the Bellevue Club was a rainbow of fashion, lights and music last Friday night at the 2010 Fashion Show titled Project Green Light. More than 200 people gathered to celebrate all things fashion while fundraising for a good cause.

Produced and directed by Vie Franz and Misha of SMASH, Project Greenlight featured fashion for women and men from Piazza Sempione, Wolford, Mandy Moon Vintage, Jimmy Choo, Built for Man and more. Model's couture hair design was by Alex Dahl and Gerardo Benedetto.

The night was also a benefit for All About Hope, a nonprofit group that provides support, comfort and guidance for people 19-65 diagnosed with terminal cancer. While attendees sipped the signature cocktail featuring Dry Soda, they could purchase raffle tickets for a wide variety of items. In total, more than $2,200 was raised for All About Hope.

Thanks to the sponsoring partners of Project Green Light, Bellevue.com and Pike Brewing, as well as everyone that donated items for the raffle: Dry Soda, Hotel Bellevue, The Spa at the Bellevue Club, Turgeon-Raine Jewellers, Neiman Marcus, Tory Burch, Piazza Sempione, Built for Man, Masha Osoianu Design, Mikele Keiffer Millinery and Seven Salon.
