Final week, our staff took a visit to Seattle, and oh my gosh, what a stunning a part of the world. The water! The pine bushes! The espresso! Listed here are a couple of images, 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 Large Salad occasion. Kate’s poems have at all times made us chuckle 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 feel 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 had been excited to host a Large Salad occasion, the place Kate and I talked about all the pieces from parenting recommendation to orgasms to feminine friendship. (You may hear a reside recording right here, in case you’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 subsequent day, we went on a staff journey to the San Juan Islands. We took a SEA PLANE, which terrified us all…
However as soon as we had 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 basic dad quotes, like “Are you a little bit chilly? Effectively…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 fantastic Jannelle.
The air smelled like pine and seaweed, and you might 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.
