This has been a big month for Good Morning Seattle! My readership is the highest it’s ever been and I’m over the moon about it. By the way, the month isn’t even over! Since I am a game producer by day/stealth blogger by night, I couldn’t stop myself from digging into the metrics of some […]
Do It Like A Lady: Women Business Owners of Seattle

A Spring Morning by the Seattle Waterfront
Seattle, I Love You I am 100% in love with Seattle. It’s a true love. I am aware that Seattle has some flaws, but I passionately love it anyway. Speaking of flaws, let’s talk about how strange this winter/spring has been. Holy cold and rainy, Batman! Yes, yes. We all expect Seattle to be a […]

My Quest for the Perfect Decaf Americano in Seattle
Like any self-respecting Seattleite, I love coffee. So great is my love for coffee that I used to drink a liter or more per day. Yep, you read that right: a liter. However, back in October when CJ and I did our cleanse, I had to wean myself off caffeine. That first caffeine-free week was […]
