🌟 Hello Travelers! 🌟 Part three of the “Celebrating Seattle” series featured a conversation with a passionate Seattleite, Chef Kristi Brown @thatbrowngirlcooks of @communionseattle . Chef Kristi illuminated how her passion for Seattle’s rich and diverse cultures ignited her curiosity to delve into the city and fuel her culinary ingenuity. Securing two James Beard Award nominations in four years stands as a remarkable achievement, and Chef Kristi graciously acknowledged the significance of the honor. She attributes it to the supportive community, her dedicated team, and the vibrant city of Seattle, which has provided her the platform to inspire people worldwide. This episode was recorded in front of a live audience in Venice Beach @thekinn.co - We’re not playing favorites on our “Celebrating Seattle” series, but this episode was really fun to record!

⭐️ Hello Travelers ! ⭐️ In part two of our “Celebrating Seattle” series in collaboration with @visitseattle , @schibel is joined again by the acclaimed bilingual travel journalist @jetsetwithjeannette . For any traveler, the heart of a destination lies within its people and community. We had the privilege of connecting with remarkable small business owners within the Hispanic, Latino, and BIPOC communities. Exploring hidden treasures, perhaps not yet on the visitor map but beloved by locals, was a true delight. We enjoyed a fantastic cup of coffee on a quintessential cozy Seattle morning at the @thestationcoffeeshop , where we had the pleasure of conversing with Co-Owner Luis Rodriguez . Luis, who moved to Seattle over thirty years ago from Baja Mexico, shared with us the profound importance of owning a coffee shop—to inspire pride in his children and demonstrate to the youth in the community that they can achieve anything. In Seattle’s White Center neighborhood, we ventured to the @salvadoreanbakery , founded by sisters Ana Castro and Aminta Elgin, originally from El Salvador. This establishment, comprising a restaurant, bakery, and market, stands as a pillar in the community. From authentic pupusas to heavenly baked goods, it’s no wonder Seattleites rave about this bakery. Having a local guide is invaluable, and we were fortunate to have @lauraclise from @intentionalist_ show us the diverse tapestry of small businesses and the passionate individuals behind them. Understanding how our everyday choices- where we dine,drink and shop - impact the places we visit is truly enlightening. Our Seattle journey concluded with a toast alongside Ken Dillon, owner of @footprintwinetap , the city’s first sustainable keg wine-on-tap bar. The inviting ambiance, stellar wine selection, and warm locals made leaving this spot a challenge.

⭐️ Hello Travelers ⭐️ In part one of “Celebrating Seattle,” in collaboration with @visitseattle , @jetsetwithjeannette and @schibel explore some of Seattle’s most iconic and well-known attractions, including Pike Place Market, Chihuly Garden and Glass, and the Space Needle. For over a hundred years, Pike Place Market @pikeplacepublicmarket has been a staple in Seattle and a top attraction for travelers. During our visit, we explored three Hispanic and Latino-owned restaurants: Maíz @maizseattle , Copacabana @copacabana_pikeplace , and Los Agaves @losagavesatpike , serving authentic cuisine from Mexico and Bolivia. In the second part of the episode, we talk with Randy Cote from the Space Needle @spaceneedle and neighboring Chihuly Garden and Glass @chihulygg . We were mesmerized by the work of famed glassblower and Tacoma, Washington native Dale Chihuly. You’ve probably seen Chihuly work around the world, but walking through Chihuly Garden and Glass is an enchanting experience. Sitting in the famed Chihuly Glasshouse, looking up at the Space Needle, we learned the connection between these two landmarks was enhanced in 2018 when the first-of-its-kind revolving glass floor was installed on floor below the upper observation level of the Space Needle. Visitors now have two incredible views of Seattle and the surrounding areas- from looking out at Mount Rainier, Puget Sound, and the Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges, to looking down at different neighborhoods of Seattle. Many travelers also noticed the Chihuly Garden and Glass right next door. It was pretty cool to look up at the bottom of the Space Needle from inside the Glashouse and then look through the top of the Glasshouse from top of the Space Needle.
