seattle.

i love seattle. it's true. sometimes i scare myself with how much i love this city. afterall, it's the first city that i have felt comfortable calling home since leaving texas 6 years ago. it's the first city in 6 years that does not have me already plotting my next destination. anyways, here is quick, incomplete list of why i love seattle:

• sunsets. at golden gardens. or just in the city. the large buildings turn into gold and the water hue is a deep blue with pink and orange highlighting the sky. too good to be true.
• farming year round. i love that i get fresh veggies year round from local farmers.
• the morning fog. it reminds me of the lake district in great britain. and also pete's dragon.
• the ballard locks. mark my words...one day i will be jumping into them.
• gasworks park on sunny, sunday afternoons.
• the burke-gilman trail
• the space needle. guys, it seriously never gets old.
• green lake
• sasquatch...not the music festival.
• first thursdays, and of course all of the other neighborhood art walks as well.
• the library!
• and the list could go on and on and on...

it's the fall, and with every new season, along comes more visitors. i am so excited for all of my upcoming visits, but i also really love giving tours...seriously, i think my dream job would be a tour guide.
