I Live Here: Seattle • Emily *** The Emerald City. A place I grew up...

The Emerald City. A place I grew up associating with technicolor dreams and fantastical characters. But Dorothy ultimately clicked her heels in order to return home from there, yes? A jet, not a tornado brought me here, and it is here I finally found home. Within a matter of days – quite the whirlwind – I interviewed, accepted and started this new job. I tell friends it was the easiest choice I ever made. It really just made sense. In the months to come William and I got engaged, ...I Live Here: Seattle.

I Live Here: Seattle • Jessica *** Make Up Forever #205… with a MAC lip...

And what is it saying? But this is why I came here, right? Moved myself across America for a “quality of life.” Put in quotes as a mockery. It doesn’t really exist…it can’t be found…or at least I can’t find it. Seattle, you’ve saved me. So, I live here: Seattle. Surrounding myself in quality of life with no quotes. Full steam ahead. With red dangerous lips and a puppy at my side. More from Jessica’s photo shoot can be found here. I Live Here: Seattle. Stories of and by the people who live here.

It was too stark, too open, too exposed to the street, and far too bright, the way the streetlights lit the alley. I calculated curtain measurements. My eyes traced patterns on the wooden closet doors, and I listened to the city sounds for hours. Is it the experiences, the making of memories? Is home where you spend your time and your imagination and your resources? Is it where your habits are? They say the only thing constant is change. That may be true. So is the change that comes with perspect...

How many girls can say they get gorgeous bouquets of flowers every week? Every Sunday morning, or sometimes afternoon depending on what occurred the night before, I wake up with an agenda. I must get to my nearest hooded sweatshirt and jeans, throw my hair up into a messy bun, feed the two hungry cats and head to Ballard Avenue. More from Jeanne’s photo shoot can be found here.

Seattle – city of my birth. City where my parents raised me. City I now gaze out at, workday after workday, from a coveted window cubicle. Someone once moved here because of me, and then left for sunnier climes. I’ve wondered if a better version of myself would also move away. If I were tougher, would I move to New York? If I were braver, Silicon Valley? I catch flak from friends in other places. From LA: “Isn’t the suicide rate, like, twice the national average? How could they possibly understand? Seatt...

I move around a lot. And in so doing, am often awash in its side effects. Namely, adventure and loneliness. See, there’s nothing sweeter the unknown, except maybe not being the sole witness. And so, expectations were modest to say the least when I finally rounded that crest headed north on I5, and saw my new hometown of Seattle after spending a month on the road getting there. I’d come for the land. For the space. For the mountains. This was the frontier. An escape from humanity. In short order I’d...
