The art fair was filled with incredibly talented artists and a wonderful variety of high-quality, unique handmade items. I was tempted to buy so many things, but since I was flying home with only a carry-on, I didn't have room to bring much back. Instead, I collected several vendors' business cards so I could support them by ordering online later. Honestly, I wanted to buy something from almost every booth because the craftsmanship was so impressive. We also stopped by ItimTodd for dessert and shared the Strawberry Shortcake fried ice cream. I'm usually not a big sweets person, but it was absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and not overly sweet. I would definitely come back the next time I'm in town. I'll just be sure to leave some extra space in my luggage so I can bring home a few pieces from these amazing artists.

What a pleasant visit I had at the Northwest African American Museum. There was so much to take in…read moreas I learned about the history of this area and the many first African Americans who lead in significant areas of leadership. One of the best hidden gems that I encourage you, especially if you are a Luther Vandross fan is to see his exhibit. I was able to see six of his grammys and the show outfits he and his singers wore in his televised concert. It is a must see to see his hand written notes and the manner in which he used his musical genius. The staff is super friendly and knowledgable. Make this a to do on your list if you visit Seattle.

The feeling of community that I see my children feeling is everything. Performances, artists, art...in so many forms...it's incredible. Inside, family loves the book vending machine and the kids corner area with books and toys. The interactive exhibits are fun and informative. My kids like opening all the doors and using the headphones to hear stories. They love seeing people that look like family having huge impacts on history. Just a great place. Not to mention, The staff is friendly and helpful and never hard to find. I recommend the membership, there's enough going on year round to make it worth it.

The more artists in close proximity, the richer the interaction. This Seattle living space is home to friends, many, many artists in close proximity and they have open houses for their art sometimes.

Keep an eye out on their website for open houses!

The name fits. I felt like I was home, at least one of my fantasy homes. This place felt magic. the ambiance is like a mishmash of antique roadshow meets pickers meets Gryffindor common room meets the other side of Wonderland. The owners, the staff, the patrons, the entertainers-everyone was so nice. Loved the live music and loved the particular performers that night, Maya Elise & The Good Dream. Reminded me a little of Brandi Carlile. The bartender was a very personable young lady who made a wicked Black Manhattan. So Snapdragon Cafe and Home Sweet Home are kind of linked. The blueberry muffin was to die for, but that's another review! I will seriously go back to Vashon Island just to go to Home Sweet Home.

But there's something magical in that mystery that leads to a serendipitous evening. Each stage was like stepping into a new world curated by a different team for a different purpose. We watched a stop motion film with live music scoring, then caught a Hawaiian guy playing solos off his ukelele, the can can showcasing their new dance routine femme fatale, and at the main stage of course humbling vibes and feel good music from Miguel. Overall pioneer square was never crowded, and the people who were here were very friendly and open to be influenced by their surroundings. The staff was well organized and prevalent. If I were to make some changes, it would probably be to have more food present or list food destinations on the map. Also, some advice for myself next year; research the artists!

Miguel headlined last night and he was amazing! I feel blessed to have seen him live and in the flesh! lol. Got in a little late right about 9:30pm when Miguel just started.. it's really easy to maneuver around/ get to and from the different venues (we rode bikes for portions of the night). And my favorite part is how intimate all the spaces are! One venue we were got drinks, on to the next venue and we got bean dip and chips, another venue we were jumping around! So happy I got to experience this.
