Our Seattle Bingo predictions for 2023

Welcome back, Seattle, as we revisit our 2023 Bingo Board.

At the time of its inception, you may have found yourself thinking “Well, all of this sounds ridiculous.” And we’re here to say — it clearly wasn’t, because we have marked off four spaces so far.

Here’s what we’re checking off and why:

• The Space Needle will be white again starting sometime next week, so that’s done.
• The Salmon Thirty Salmon jet took its final run on April 17th between Seattle and Anchorage before being repainted.
• Robot baristas are real and they’re working hard at Artly Coffee at 101 Stewart St.
• Bruce Springsteen was also the latest celeb to toss a Pike Place fish.
• It’s not really another bridge shutting down, but the West Seattle Bridge did have a big hole in it that took days to repair.

We’ll circle back once we fill out some more of the board. Any guesses on what’s next?

Introduction

Published January 5, 2023
Alright, Seattle — at the beginning of the month we asked you all what were your predictions for local headlines we might read in the coming year so we could make a 2023 Bingo card.

We got a couple of pretty funny responses that have been added to a few of our own thoughts. With that, we’re ready for Seattle to really bring out its weird.

We’ll update you all whenever a space has been filled and let you know which one of your fellow readers made the prediction in case you want to ask them about lottery numbers or something.

Let’s have some fun.

Bingo Introduction

(Published January 5, 2023)

So, the past few years have been pretty weird, right?

We mean, there’s no way our 2019 selves could have ever predicted owning 14 styles of face masks or the Pentagon admitting the existence of UFOs.

So we wanted to have a little fun and make our own predictions for headlines we might see in 2023 here locally and make a Bingo card to fill out as the year goes on.

As a start, we’re thinking:

• Another giant bug takes over the PNW.
• Seattle SuperSonics return (this one is hopeful)
• The Space Needle gets painted a new color.

But we would love your help adding in this card so we can laugh together.

So, tell us: What news (totally out of this world or predictably wacky for Seattle) do you think 2023 will bring?
