June 4, 2025If you’ve traveled through Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, you’ll know it’s busier than ever. Seattle has become quite the destination.

Chicago is a family-friendly destination from Seattle just a short non-stop flight away
May 23, 2025A closer flight than Hawaii but a further one than Los Angeles, Chicago is a family-friendly destination from Seattle (about a 4 hour plane ride away) that I didn’t really think about when the kids were small and I kind of wish I had. It’s really easy to get around and it’s such a clean […]

Six the Musical with Broadway in Seattle and why you should see it when it heads to your town
May 13, 2025The first time I saw Six the Musical I didn’t give it a fair chance. It was on the same night Taylor Swift was in the city and I did not have tickets to Taylor Swift. And nothing else should be playing in any city on a night Taylor Swift is in town. Fast forward […]

Maybe the most peaceful oasis in Seattle Center is the Bar at Chihuly Garden and Glass
May 8, 2025I often forget to tell people to go to the Chihuly Garden and Glass at Seattle Center. It’s a really gorgeous museum but it’s also a little spendy (and it doesn’t take a whole lot of time to visit) so it’s hard to put on a must see list. But it really should be. Dale […]

Life of Pi with Broadway in Seattle and beyond
April 18, 2025I don’t know why I thought that Life of Pi would be a one person play. And I really meant to re-read the novel before I went to the media night for Life of Pi with Broadway in Seattle this past week. But of course, life gets in the way of things like this, and […]

February 20, 2025I am often invited to SEA (our airport formerly known as SeaTac and still kind of known as SeaTac but it’s moving towards SEA now) for events because of the blog and instagram and the other day my son and I went for the opening of the last new N concourse shops and restaurants but […]

The Last 5 years and going to a play at the ACT theatre in Seattle
February 14, 2025Theatre has such an interesting unspoken contract that we don’t seem to have anywhere else anymore. Without explicit instructions, we know to find our seats and tuck ourselves carefully into place without jostling the chairs around us all the while clutching jackets, handbags, and programs quietly into our laps. When the lights darken we grow […]

Broadway in Seattle 2025/2026 season musical list (and who else is so excited about the Notebook?)
February 2, 2025I still remember when the Notebook was the opening night movie for SIFF at a fancy theatre downtown and I had no idea I would cry my eyes out and neither did the group of mascara stained ladies I met in the bathroom at intermission either. So I practically squealed when I saw that the […]
