17 Things I’ll Miss About Seattle

Posted on: November 12th, 2015 by

Have you heard? I’m moving to New York tomorrow. I’m going to be Senior Editor at Wine Enthusiast, starting Monday. (No rest for the weary!) Really excited to bring my energy and enthusiasm to this role; it’s an awesome opportunity.

Naturally as I’ve packed up my life here waves of nostalgia have overtaken me. I’ve combed through boxes of letters, photos, and memories that brought up all kinds of feelings. It’s been very emotional. On that note, here images conveying all the things I’ll miss in Seattle. I narrowed it down to 17.

1. Elephant Super Car Wash Sign on Denny:
