The Christmas season here in the PNW is an extra special time of year. There’s no place like home for the holidays, but if you still have that urge to travel, there are lots of unique events worth spending a little time on the road. If you want to make this Christmas extra special, here …
A few weeks ago, I was talking with friends of mine from high school in a group chat and I mentioned that it had been about 15 years since we were all in the same room together. As everyone slowly realized that I was right, we soon agreed that we should meet up this summer …
Have you ever landed in a new city, only to find yourself totally lost in the local lingo? Seattle’s no different. Whether it’s references to neighborhoods, the weather, or a particular brand of beer, Seattleites have a language all their own. Having spent plenty of time in the Emerald City, I’ve picked up the phrases, …
If any state were destined to be home to the biggest, greenest, most jaw-dropping trees on earth, it would be Washington. It’s called the Evergreen State for a reason, after all. But when it comes to redwoods—the tallest trees on the planet—Washington comes up a bit short. At least, mostly. On a recent road trip …
Washington State is a relaxing place to live, with plenty of scenic natural parks and rugged mountain ranges. At least until the dreary Seattle rains kick in and everyone turns into a serial killer because of the lack of Vitamin D. Well, not really. Vitamin D deficiency is a serious issue but thankful the serial …
If you’re thinking about moving to the Pacific Northwest, you’re probably deciding between Oregon and Washington. And while both states have plenty to offer, I’ll be upfront: we’re full. Well, not really. But it sure feels like it sometimes. Both Oregon and Washington have seen huge population increases in the past decade, and it’s easy …
When most people think of celebrities or famous people from Seattle, they usually think of former or deceased residents—people like Bruce Lee, Jimi Hendrix, or Kurt Cobain. But plenty of well-known names still call the Seattle area home. For this list, we’re referring to the Seattle metro area, not just city limits. And as of …
I was in Phoenix on vacation recently and went to Target to pick up some cough medicine for a sick friend. As I handed the cashier my driver’s license, he said, “What’s the weather like up there? Do you get a lot of humidity?” I paused for a second and thought, “Humidity? Seattle?” It’s not …
A friend of mine from high school called me the other day and said he was looking to buy some land to build a house. He said he’d scored a deal on a home kit from Home Depot (which I didn’t even know was a thing—but apparently it is!) and now needed a place to …
I’ve always felt that Seattle doesn’t quite get the recognition it deserves when it comes to food. Despite having no Michelin-starred restaurants (through no fault of its own), Seattle can hold its own in nearly every genre of dining. Except one: all-you-can-eat places. For some reason, buffets and AYCE joints are in short supply here—which …
