seattle list of fabulous fun.

today marks the beginning of week eight of winter quarter. which means that it's only a matter of weeks until finals and spring break! with that being said, i have recently come to the realization that my days here in seattle are numbered. 111 days until graduation. eek! where has the time gone?!

while living in seattle for the past three-ish years, i have explored many of the nooks & crannies of this wonderful city. from the ultra-touristy, pike place market, to the hidden gems of capitol hill, via tribunali. regardless, there are still countless restaurants, museums, parks, tourist attractions, and coffee shops that i would love to experience before i move back to portland.

which brings me to the super-secret spring project i first mentioned here, which incidentally is not really a secret at all. :) last week i drafted a list of everything i want to do in seattle {either again, or for the first time,} before i graduate from university. my goal is to cross off all 38 {and counting} items before i pack up shop and head back to portland on june 13th. i plan on chronicling my adventures on this here blog, so keep checking in to see if i accomplish my goal!
