Last night we had our team dinner at Matsu, a sushi spot in Pioneer Square, and guys, I ate so much. Pair that with dirty martinis… we had a great night. Since you asked (nobody asked), my martini order is vodka, extra dirty. Ya girl loves a savory drink, what can I say!

Enough about my great night, let’s get y’all set up for a great night:

Hot air balloons glowing at dusk already sounds pretty magical, but Kla Ha Ya Days is adding live music, food trucks, and a full evening of family-friendly chaos on 7/25 at Harvey Airfield. Enter for a chance to win a pair of tickets for the glowing festivities.*
