so long seattle, and thanks for all the fish!

so long seattle, and thanks for all the fish!

truth be told, i didn’t get as much seafood as i would have liked but, still, thanks for all the fish! i truly wish i had more time to hang out with the many, many fine folks in the entire pacific northwest who i’ve come to know over the years. next time!

and yes, at this moment i am still obsessing about getting a shot of rainier AT SUNSET! FROM THE AIR! IT’LL BE PERFECT!

except i’m on the wrong side of plane. the view of the sunset over the cascades is a nice consolation prize.

the mountain is out!

the mountain is out!

it’s a cool and gorgeous morning in seattle while running around looking at sets and that means “the mountain is out” which is a regional euphemism that translates roughly to, “it’s sunny and clear enough to see mount rainier.” this is a relatively rare occurrence and having lived in the pacific northwest i can attest that it’s legit topic of conversation amongst locals. i’m not surprised to see there’s a “is the mountain out” twitter account, but i am surprised that it’s not more frequently updated.

i was quasi-obsessed with getting a great shot of the mountain being out, but alas, and it wasn’t the, ahem, focus of my very minimal time in seattle and i had to take what i could get. i missed several awesome chances while i was driving 🙁

322/365. sleepless in seattle, looking at sets.

322/365. sleepless in seattle, looking at sets.

i moved on with this guy from olympia to seattle to check out retail sets. a low level cold is starting to get less low level and it’s messing with my sleep. BUT. I. WILL. LOOK. AT. SETS! in case you were wondering, this is a great set.

seattle has been very good to organic valley over the years and sets like this are one reason why. and, of course, you get a great looking set like this when you have lots of consumers who love coop and the milk 🙂
