@bardojo Seattle location Grand Opening tomorrow: Saturday, 17 Oct 2026, and I got to celebrate 🎊 with them tonight 🤗!! Thank you 🙏 for letting me crash your media pre-opening party!!

@makfaikungfu brought the vibe!! @alisonstardust great to meet you 🧜‍♀️! @hellomelendez will be back for my @feedmehrg stamp lol!! @seattleartmuseum inspired the best cocktails Hammer Man 🥃 & Big Cloud 🥥.

I was familiar with the smaller location in Edmonds for my vegan food fix (impossible bulgogi bowl is 💣) and plenty excited for Seattle to experience their culinary delights!!

Tonight’s dairy-free offerings such as veggie yakisoba, avocado rice, and garlic green beans were clearly marked (much appreciated). The ube cheesecake stole the show for sure!! @chef_brambila @chefshubert

Go Seahawks! This Seahawks mural in SODO by @hellomelendez is one of my favorites.

I spent some time clone stamping the parking signs out of two of the photos in Photoshop to help showcase the mural. I was unable to clone stamp out the massive pole featured on the 3rd photo.

Puma Mural for Conord International Elementary School in beautiful South Park. An art collaboration with @hellomelendez and the greatest assist in the world by @lordego1 The puma has been gloriously protected by @jk_paint_and_finish_llc with a UV+graffiti coat. Literally so many people stepped up to help this mural come to life. I’m truly blessed.

Have you seen @tandcmarkets artist collaboration series? They’ve made the biggest splash this spring and summer, and it’s been so much fun to promote.

ICYMI, Seattle’s favorite family-owned, independent grocer store partnered with local artists to bring each market’s community story to life. The series began with a mural at its Mill Creek location, expanded to a partenrship with five artists for limited edition market mugs in April. They sold out within weeks! Then the retailer featured a tote bag celebrating Pride Month in June, with proceeds going to the Lambert House.

And now the cutest (and well-designed) market totes featuring the art showcased on the mugs are in store! Luckily they are getting limited time re-stock because they flew off the shelves.

Take a look through a few press hits showcasing the campaign, and go grab your tote before it’s too late!

Had a great romp last September and couldn't pass up another hang. Got the Gas Pig readied. One part hauling merch, one part hauling ass and six parts sleeping quarters. If you see sketchy orange van all steamed up in a dark corner of the @dicksdrivein parking lot, DO NOT APPROACH THE GAS PIG. Need my shut-eye.
