All you East coasters think it rains all the time here in Seattle. This includes my mom, whom after 3 years of me living here also still thinks it rains all the time. Well here’s my proof. It seems you guys are experiencing some rain today. Oh look though! It’s 79 degrees here now and not a cloud in the sky. I won’t lie either, it’s been this nice out since about the end of May. At one point, we even experienced 29 straight beautiful days without rain. So the next time someone tells you, “why would you want to move to/visit Seattle? Doesn’t it rain all the time there?”…tell them Seattle is the West Coast’s little secret!

Seattle Weekly Yelp Featured Lists

Seattle Weekly Yelp Featured Lists 6/1/2009

My List “Fantastic Seattle Beer Bars” was featured today in the Seattle Weekly Yelp newsletter. Of course, I don’t actually subscribe to the newsletter so it was my friend (who now lives in St. Louis but loves to keep up on Seattle happenings) who let me know that I was featured.

This is one of my prized lists besides the WABL (Washington Associate of Beer Lover’s) List where I record the best places in WA to drink and enjoy great beer. Since we are constantly traveling in search of good beer, I am able to constantly keep my lists up to date.

Anyway, I hope to create more lists in the future as I think they are a great way to compile and group restaurants, breweries, and attractions while seeing how much I enjoyed them at the same time. Stay tuned for a Yakima (all you can eat, drink, and have fun) list from our recent Memorial Day Weekend adventure!
