Helllooo! It’s the end of August, and yesterday I saw Noah Kahan perform “End of August” live, and my soul left my body. For those going to tonight’s show, be prepared for a spiritual and emotional experience! Spotify has a feature where you can see the first time you ever listened to an artist… my first time listening to Noah Kahan was in 2017. This concert really was my Super Bowl, and now I can die happy!

WHAT TO DO IN SEPTEMBER IN SEATTLE

September is probably my favorite month here in Seattle. It’s still fairly warm, but it’s not scorching, and fall is starting to hit, but it isn’t fully here. The shoulder season from summer into fall is short and sweet and FULL of awesome events. Check out some of them and start planning! (ps, there’s way more than 50 things in this month’s list because I couldn’t narrow it down!)
