Why I (Love to) Live Here
Nirvana (thanks to one very good radio station near where I grew up in the Jersey Shore area). Seattle entered my consciousness through the band and those in their orbit. Please, someone tell 12-year-old me that I now work in the same building where they played one of their most iconic shows.
I’ve found many of my favorite beings in this city, including two soulmates (one feline, one beardy).
It smells like the ocean when I leave our house in the morning.
The urban and natural views on daily trips to and from downtown on the C Line.
Lincoln Park
Pioneer Square Art Walk
Sweater weather
Cloud drama
Cherry blossom season
Ferry boats
The endless shades of green that blanket the city at all times of the year
Memories of places that once were, and the lives I lived in them. Gone but not forgotten: People's Pub, The Rosebud, Bailey Coy Books, Bleu Bistro, Minnie's, Jade Pagoda, Redwood.
Pals that make great art and encourage me to make my own
