When you're in Seattle, you can't help but fall in love with the great outdoors. With only a few guaranteed months of good weather out of the year, there is a deep appreciation for even small pockets of sun throughout the day. Luckily, my last couple of trips to Seattle were drenched with warmth and was spent doing all the touristy things I love-- visiting the gross but endearing gum wall, walking around Pike Place, eating some chowder, and visiting the very first Starbucks Coffee to ever exist. This time around, my gracious host and lovely friend, Annie gave me a sneak peek beyond the comforts of my touristy views. Seattle, I've found, is the land of innovation, health, food, coffee, hiking, and consignment shops, rain or shine.
