Final week, our crew took a visit to Seattle, and oh my gosh, what a beautiful a part of the world. The water! The pine timber! The espresso! Listed here are just a few images, should you’d prefer to see…
First off, Jannelle Sanchez, Maureen Heffernan, Kaitlyn Teer and I met up with the poet Kate Baer in Seattle for a Large Salad occasion. Kate’s poems have at all times made us giggle and cry (“I’m a cool poet,” she joked throughout our discuss), and it was actually enjoyable to hang around collectively, eat smoked fish dip, talk about actuality TV, and check out on lipsticks at Sephora, as one does.
On the primary evening, we had a scrumptious dinner at Harry’s Advantageous Meals…
…after which stayed at their visitor home subsequent door. How GORGEOUS is that this bed room with all of the matching materials?
My bed room had a large tub…
…and we swooned over the design particulars, like this tugboat hook (which I believe is by Nickey Kehoe?). After we first arrived, I stated, “I really like seeing all of the little issues,” and Kaitlyn stated, “Sure! Let’s go nook by nook!” Such a deal with.
One of many house owners – Julian — stopped by with a bottle of wine within the night. How cute is he?
On our second day, we have been excited to host a Large Salad occasion, the place Kate and I talked about every part from parenting recommendation to orgasms to feminine friendship. (You may hear a stay recording right here, should you’d like; it’s free for everybody.) We LOVED spending time with associates and readers there. I at all times get choked up at in-person occasions.
In different information, my gown matched the lavatory!
The following day, we went on a crew journey to the San Juan Islands. We took a SEA PLANE, which terrified us all…
However as soon as we have been up within the air, the flight felt dreamy and otherworldly. We noticed a whale and Kaitlyn wept.
We landed in Roche Harbor after about 45 minutes.
What a magical place. Have you ever ever been there? Do you go usually?
Our advertising director Maureen’s household has lived in Seattle for 5 generations, and her dad drove us round in his boat. He advised us in regards to the historical past, full with traditional dad quotes, like “Are you somewhat chilly? Nicely…you’ll be tremendous.”
Since our editors — like Kaitlyn, above — stay on the west coast, it’s at all times a deal with to see one another in individual.
And the great Jannelle.
The air smelled like pine and seaweed, and you could possibly hear water lapping and birds throughout.
Lastly, as we returned to Seattle, we noticed scorching tubs boats on the lake! How hilarious is that? (The boys would flip.) We adored Seattle — thanks a lot to the fantastic metropolis for such a beautiful keep.
