Gigantic puffy clouds, welcoming, forgiving, repeating infinitely across the horizon as if between mirrors; and slices of rain, pounding wet misery in the distance now, but soon on us, and in another part of the sky, a black stain, rainless.” -Maria Semple

“Seattle is for people who love culture, but refuse to sacrifice their wild nature to attain it.” –  Kimberly Kinrade
