Nationwide Protest against Prop 8 on Sat 11/15 - Spread the Word!

***UPDATE FOR SEATTLE***  The Seattle protest is at Volunteer Park, *not* the Seattle City Council Offices.  I have been told this directly by one of the organizers: there were originally two separate protests, but they have now merged into one.  More info here (including a link to their facebook group.)  You can also spread the [...]

it’s all in the timing

Well, y’all, I could be preggers right this minute.  (How’s that for an opening sentence, huh?)

It’s truly a parade by the people, for the people, and it shows some of the best of Seattle’s fun quirkiness.
I started the morning [...]

I love Seattle in the Springtime

I truly do. All winter long we struggle through the cold, dark, rainy days, and then, when the first rays of Spring sun hit the city, Seattleites come out in droves. We had some of that gorgeous Spring weather on Sunday and Monday, and everywhere I looked, people were biking, frisbeeing, walking, playing [...]
