crazy 4 u

oh Valentine’s Day, you’re a mixed bag.

YES to handmade cards, heart-shaped cookies and declarations of adoration (we love you Bill Murray!). NO to over-priced bouquets and boxed chocolates, feeling left out, and the term “gal-entine'“.

This month, we celebrate the multitude of things we love about this thing we call life (Prince forever).

love diversity - join Edouardo Jordan of JuneBaby and Salare for the Soul of Seattle virtual fundraising event benefiting local Black chefs and organizations that focus on youth of color … live cooking classes, talks and a dance party with Questlove and DJ Topspin (!!!), YES!

love food … treat your love(s) to the finest takeout from oysters and bubbles at Bottlehouse, mind-blowing pasta at La Medusa, extraordinary seafood from Ebb & Co.. Meet your best pal for Après Ski fondue at L’Oursin (snow/no snow, imagine friends!) or make your family’s day with a Phamily PhoKit from Pho Bac Sup Shop.

love art … Pioneer Square galleries like Zinc, Greg Kucera and Gray Sky are open for visits or by appointment.

love laughter … did you catch all the details in the Schitt’s Creek wedding? Definitely worth a rerun.

love nature … did you know there are over 485 parks in the city of Seattle? Discover a new one - Parsons Garden, Kubota Garden, Deadhorse Canyon, Carkeek, and Lincoln to name just a few of our faves.

love yourself … you’ve made it through the last 11 months and you’re incredible.

xoxo
