City Finds: Seattle

The weather in Seattle has been surprisingly favorable since I've moved here. Sunny days with crisp air. Everyone outside of Seattle talks about the rain and the overcast weather. I honestly don't mind it! (we'll see if my opinion changes after living in the rain a few months) My favorite American city is San Fransisco. It is such a beautiful city both in it's urban dwelling and outskirts. If only the cost of living in SF can be in my favor :(

Some friends came to help us move into our new home. Thank goodness they were able bodied individuals! It took 5 of us to haul my letterpress (Monster) up my VERY steep street into my garage. Under a very tight time frame (the POD had to be picked up the next day) we were able to stuff all of our belongings into the garage in under 3 hours... now for the unpacking. I just can't wait to get rid of these boxes!

We took our friends around our new city. The one thing I like about Seattle is the presence of vintage structures- something Los Angeles demolished, but should have kept. I love taking photos of these buildings along with the city's street art, signage, and doorways. I find a lot of inspiration in these things, especially in the typography of old shop signs. In our city finds, I was able to come across a vintage letterpress, similar to mine, in an underground city tour. Sweet! Oh, and good thing Starbucks updated their siren logo.. Check out their original one below.
