If you drove down Corliss Avenue North in mid-80s Seattle, you probably saw Seth. He was the kid sorting Alvin Davis cards on his porch, mimicking Paul Skansi in street football games, or arguing the merits of Alton Lister with his friends. Seth has grown up just enough that his interests now include politics, the arts and the value of his Roth IRA; yet he also has season tickets to the Mariners, Sounders and Huskies, and frequently attends high school basketball games for fun. That is to say, he loves sports and still cant stop talking about them. Shortlisted for a Genius Award by The Stranger for his sportswriting, Seth was a frequent guest columnist for the Seattle P-I the best young sportswriter you never heard of and has also written for Seattle Metropolitan and Deadspin. Seths sports posts have been cited by The Washington Post, USA Today, and ESPN. He served as executive editor of Sports Northwest magazine from 2008-2009. He was also sports editor for Seattlest.com and The SunBreak, and founded a Seattle sports blog, Enjoy the Enjoyment. Join Seth in suffering the daily slings and arrows of Seattle sports fortune in his column, Exit 164.
Seth Kolloen opines on a plethora of issues — UW hoops, Seahawks, Mariners (doesn’t look like there will be any money avaiable to buy a bat) and much, much more — in today’s edition of Exit 164.

Apple Cup: Where’s the trash talk? Mariner fans freaking. And Mike Williams’ precious foot .
That was one horrible football game between Cal and Washington, but all is forgotten after Coach Sark’s fourth-down decision led to a memorable last play win.
Exit 164 is ramp off Interstate-5 that you take to get to Safeco Field and Qwest Field. Although Seth Kolloen reports frequently on the denizens of those sporting digs, he is not confined there. Seth brings an intelligent and often off-beat perspective to all the games and teams in our region.
Pull a Knox and Bench Hass? Carroll Says No Way First-year coach benches franchise icon QB in favor of untested youngster?
