Sitka & Spruce

Located in the Melrose Market in Capitol Hill, the food at this small restaurant in phenomenal. We were able to sit at the long table which makes up half of the kitchen to get a front-row view of all the action. Although the menu looks intimidating at first because the food seems so outside-the-box, Sitka & Spruce exceeded my already high expectations with every dish it put out. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting or living in Seattle! They also bake the best sourdough...

My Unexpected Hike Up Mount Teneriffe

History has proven that summer in the Northwest doesn't begin until after Independence Day - this year was no different. July 3rd, it was pouring rain; July 4th, 80 degrees and beautiful. The weather has been that way ever since. On Sunday, my friend, Missy, and I decided to go on a hike. Her roommate had suggested we hike Mt. Si because she had done it a few days earlier. We left around lunchtime to drive to Mt. Si and were excited to spend the next couple hours outdoors. My sister, Jen, and...

The Seattle Great Wheel

Can you spot the Space Needle?! For the past month, we have been watching the final stages of the development of the newest addition to Seattle's waterfront from our office window.

None of us were surprised as the plans were revealed. The wait time to get on...

Snoqualmie Falls

For Father's Day weekend, we decided to take a 40 minute drive out of Seattle to check out Snoqualmie Falls.  The hiking trail is closed, but we were able to check out the falls from two different locations. It's breathtaking! They have also started to improve the hydroelectric, power-generating technology (which I know nothing about), but you can see where they have diverted a part of the river into the side of the mountain and then see where it comes out down below. There is also a gorgeous...

Macrina Bakery

 It doesn't take long to realize that in Seattle coffee shops and bakeries play a huge role in the culture. However, if you can avoid the Starbucks that are on every corner, the neighborhood bakeries provide the perfect shelter on those rainy weekend mornings. My first morning in Seattle I made my way to the Macrina Bakery on the top of Queen Anne. I was instantly welcomed by the smell of warm pastries and lattes as I crossed the threshold out of the rain. Definitely a place that you need...
