Final week, our crew took a visit to Seattle, and oh my gosh, what a stunning a part of the world. The water! The pine timber! The espresso! Listed below are just a few photographs, if you happen to’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 snigger 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, focus on actuality TV, and take a look at on lipsticks at Sephora, as one does.
On the primary night time, we had a scrumptious dinner at Harry’s Effective 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 feel is by Nickey Kehoe?). After we first arrived, I stated, “I like seeing all of the little issues,” and Kaitlyn stated, “Sure! Let’s go nook by nook!” Such a deal with.
One of many homeowners – 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 the whole lot from parenting recommendation to orgasms to feminine friendship. (You possibly can hear a reside recording right here, if you happen to’d like; it’s free for everybody.) We LOVED spending time with pals 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 instructed us concerning the historical past, full with traditional dad quotes, like “Are you just a little chilly? Properly…you’ll be nice.”
Since our editors — like Kaitlyn, above — reside 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 sizzling tubs boats on the lake! How hilarious is that? (The boys would flip.) We adored Seattle — thanks a lot to the wonderful metropolis for such an exquisite keep.
