Sosios Produce is in Pike Place Market. This is my absolute favorite place to buy produce from. It’s always so fresh and the staff is so knowledgeable!

In a Landscape
In a Landscape puts on piano concerts in nature. People are given wireless headsets and encouraged to wander around in the scenery to connect to music and nature.
This was one of the highlights of my summer! It was such a unique experience. Be sure to watch my video to learn a bit more about the In a Landscape concert experience.
