Where to watch the World Cup in Seattle in June

The World Cup is coming to Seattle and while it might still seem a little bit away, our city is going to be the stage for this massive soccer event before we know it. I’m still waiting to hear if I’ll be volunteering (I’ve heard people are starting to get notified in Seattle) and I’ve […]

Seattle Torchlight Parade on the Waterfront

The SeaFair Torchlight Parade in Seattle: our nighttime parade is back!

July 20, 2025

Do other places have nighttime parades or is it only Seattle? And is only Seattle again now? I think this parade got moved to afternoon for a few years recently. But now the TorchLight Parade will be starting in the evening again (at 7:30pm) and it has a route along the Seattle Waterfront. This year […]

Chihuly Garden and glass and the bar at Chihuly Garden and Glass in Seattle

Maybe the most peaceful oasis in Seattle Center is the Bar at Chihuly Garden and Glass

May 8, 2025

I 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 […]

A mom and me trip to Alderbrook Resort in the winter

January 28, 2025

The time between November to the end of year seems to go a zillion times faster than the rest of the year (and especially January. Why is January the longest month of the year?!) and it doesn’t always feel like you can add anything more, but I think I need to remember this is why […]

Transformers One: an Interview with Chris Hemsworth and Brian Tyree Henry

September 16, 2024

Childhood me who just-a-million-times-more-than-a-teeny-bit wanted to be a reporter one day would have screamed a little if I told her I interviewed Optimus Prime and Megatron this afternoon. And I even got to chat with the two of them in the same room not trying to kill each other. It feels like so many of […]
