Starting a new project in 2026: trying to drink a coffee in as many Seattle neighborhoods as I possibly can.
Seattle's coffee scene is truly one of my favorite things about this city and this will be a great excuse to fully explore it.

Inspiring! When faced with high housing and child care costs, this Millennial became mayor of a major US city to afford them
After much deliberation and a grueling interview process, I’m pleased to announce that I’ve accepted a new job and will not need any financial support from my parents to cover the high costs of childcare going forward. #AmericanDream #ThisIsYourCity
