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!
