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, in case 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 Huge Salad occasion. Kate’s poems have all the time made us giggle and cry (“I’m a cool poet,” she joked throughout our speak), and it was actually enjoyable to hang around collectively, eat smoked fish dip, focus on actuality TV, and check out on lipsticks at Sephora, as one does.
On the primary night time, we had a scrumptious dinner at Harry’s High quality 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 an enormous tub…
…and we swooned over the design particulars, like this tugboat hook (which I believe is by Nickey Kehoe?). After we first arrived, I mentioned, “I like seeing all of the little issues,” and Kaitlyn mentioned, “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 Huge Salad occasion, the place Kate and I talked about all the things from parenting recommendation to orgasms to feminine friendship. (You possibly can hear a dwell recording right here, in case you’d like; it’s free for everybody.) We LOVED spending time with mates and readers there. I all the time get choked up at in-person occasions.
In different information, my gown matched the lavatory!
The subsequent 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 a bit chilly? Properly…you’ll be wonderful.”
Since our editors — like Kaitlyn, above — dwell on the west coast, it’s all the time a deal with to see one another in particular person.
And the fantastic Jannelle.
The air smelled like pine and seaweed, and you possibly can 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 fantastic metropolis for such a beautiful keep.
