I've been living up here long enough to know, almost down to the day, when summer makes way for fall. It happened about a week ago.
The mornings are darker. Spiders are starting to build webs in outdoor corners. The clouds are back, and so is the rain. The quilt on our bed feels just a little bit better in the morning.
Pumpkin Spice lattes are available at every coffee shop in town. Leaves are on the verge of changing. At dusk, our neighborhood smells like burning mesquite. Windows are yellow with artificial light, dogs bark, and a cool breeze rustles the trees.
It takes me back to another time. The year I met Jason. The autumn of Seattle, and Dave Matthews Band, and midnight walks through Wright Park. That blue chambray shirt, my Elizabeth Arden perfume, and after years of living here, the year I finally learned Tacoma.I love you, hon.

This is probley the only time of year that I'm jealous you live there! Ha! Beautiful pictures!
It's so nice to hear someone with positive thoughts about Sea/Tac...there is so much to appreciate about the area. I miss it....thanks for bringing back some wonderful memories. Sea/Tac is soooooooooooo much more than just "rain".I'd trade places with you in a heartbeat.
