What Wear When: 4/26 Events in Seattle & Beyond

What Wear When: 4/26 Events in Seattle & Beyond


It is really starting to feel like Spring in Seattle! After months of hibernation, the emergence has begun as the new season brings sunshine, new blooms and flowers and so many fun things to do! From new store openings to museum exhibits to festivals, spring into summer (and even looking ahead to fall!) in the Pacific Northwest is about to fantastic!

This new What Wear When: Events in Seattle & Beyond feature here on Story of My Dress is something I'm hoping to keep up every week and share with you all the fun things going on in Seattle and beyond. Featuring fashion, style and beauty events,  as well as food/drink, art, music, culture and even just for fun, these events and happenings are all things I'm excited about and thought you might be too!

Particularly on my radar going into this weekend and next week is the Amour Vert Grand Opening at University Village today (April 26), a New Menu by Chef Nick Novello for Fisherman's Restaurant & Bar available April 29 and the MOHAI: Seattle Style Fashion/Function Exhibit presented by Nordstrom opening at MOHAI Seattle on May 4!

Here's all the fun things I'm looking forward to  . . .

Tacoma, Washington is the Perfect Spot for an Urban Getaway

Thank you Travel Tacoma for partnering on this post!

Tacoma, Washington is the Perfect Spot for an Urban Getaway

On the shores of Puget Sound with Mount Rainier standing watch to the east, sits urban port city Tacoma, Washington, an ideal spot for an urban weekend getaway. Just south of Seattle, Tacoma is known for it's world renowned glass art, and is quickly becoming a destination for new restaurants, indie boutiques, beautiful natural parks, art museums, music venues and a stunning waterfront on the saltwater banks of Puget Sound.

Growing up in the Pacific Northwest and the Seattle area, I have to admit I previously thought I had only two reasons to visit Tacoma. One was to attend High School state championship basketball games when our team made it (and miss school!) and two, in college, to go to Dave Matthews Band concerts at the Tacoma Dome. But that has all changed after a recent weekend getaway to Tacoma!

I recently partnered with Travel Tacoma for a 3 day, 2 night visit to Tacoma, WA and quickly fell in love with this vibrant and sophisticated old-meets-new City alive with art, shopping, food, nature and culture.
