Welcome to “Girl in Seattle”

My final project for COM495 is “Girl in Seattle” — a blog. It’s not really a review blog, but it certainly includes elements of a review blog – restaurants, shopping, etc.  Truthfully though, “Girl in Seattle” is meant to chronicle the experiences of a woman (me) who has spent the last twenty-five years of her life commuting from the small town of Poulsbo into the big city every weekday, and back again every evening.  The commuting has been time-consuming (obviously), but it’s also limited my abilities to enjoy either place.  The friends I made in Seattle I rarely got to spend time with, and those that I left in Poulsbo every day I rarely got to know.

Okay, this is a terrific blog – competitor and inspiration – found via Delicious.com:  http://girlsguidetocitylife.com/.  I guess I’m not surprised something like this exists… but I haven’t seen any others.  “We’re Girls Guide to City Life; women reporters from around the world who adore our cities so much, we write about them and share our secrets with you. We go from fancy dinners to dives, love a thrift store find and splurge on something grand, too. We promise to always tell the truth – if we don’t like it, we won’t talk about it. If it’s not someplace we want to be it’s not some place you do.” Quite a bit larger than what I’m doing, but still pretty close.
