Took my kids to the Hands On Children’s Museum and wrote about it for Pacific NW Magazine (The Seattle Times). seattletimes.com/pacific-nw-mag…

Currently spinning back-to-back 80’s smokeshows. 9-year-old me wanted to give this Diana Ross a shoulder massage so goddamn bad…

Wrapping up a great weekend embedded at #clamchella with Seattle Times photographer @ivyceballo. Our Pacific NW Magazine cover story coming later this fall! Massive thanks to cranegeronimo and the rest of the Clamchella crew for being so welcoming and letting us tag along!

Just turned in my first long form feature to the Seattle Times/Pacific NW Magazine. It’s light and fun — by no means hardhitting — but I really wrote the shit outta it and I’m excited to see it in print in about a month!

This term “bomb cyclone” really terrifies my wife. But to me it just sounds like an 90s middle schooler describing a cyclone they saw on MTV.

"FIRES BURN AND sparks fly beneath the West Seattle Bridge in South Seattle. Ears ring with the metallic crashing of hammers into smoldering orange steel.“ —I wrote a fun article about Lawless Forge in today’s Seattle Times (in Pacific NW Magazine). seattletimes.com/pacific-nw-mag…

My first longform feature for the Seattle Times is on the cover of today’s Pacific NW Magazine! It’s my account of a weekend spent at the Washington coast with a crew of fun-loving Seattle artists celebrating “Clamchella.” Here’s the piece online: seattletimes.com/pacific-nw-mag…

I only had to walk eight blocks from home for my latest Pacific NW Magazine/Seattle Times article. Had a blast writing about one of my favorite Tacoma organizations, Hilltop Artists. Thanks for your help justice, abolition, reparations and beautiful photos Ivy Ceballo! seattletimes.com/pacific-nw-mag…

My Christmas gift (to myself) arrived!! Now I gotta wrap these up so my kids can watch me slowly unwrap them Xmas morning because it’s important they know Xmas isn’t just all about them and baby Jesus (it’s about me, too!)

This first full work week after the holiday break feels like it won’t ever end. Missing this moment: a forest walk through Puget Creek trail in #Tacoma last week on New Year’s Day.

I rode an ice bumper car for my latest The Seattle Times article. Just the latest example of the ends I’ll go to for a scoop.

My latest piece in Pacific NW Magazine. Will probably be my last one of 2025 because I need all the spare time I can find to get my book into my publisher on time by December. Glad to finish up this run with an article about a community-critical place in Pierce County.

The number one reason I’m thankful my book found a publisher is that now when I email strangers for interviews or information (and subtly mention the publisher) they usually write back.

What I’m reading on vacation this week. The first two by writers I already love, and the third by one I’m reading for the first time.

Glad to see both of Tacoma’s liberal arts universities (including my alma mater) on this list.

Had a blast joining Hope and Annie on the “Interchangeable White Ladies” podcast to talk about breezy issues like nationalism, geographic heritage, and DNA tests. open.spotify.com/episode/1u9DoU…
