Seattle Gets Yarnified

I wish I could say that I made up that word, but when I typed it into Google I found that it already existed. This summer, artist Suzanne Tidwell will be decorating the trees of Seattle’s Occidental Park with endless yarn. Apparently, this act is called “Yarn Bombing” – just another reason for me to love it even more. Tidwell explains that her art is like a type of graffiti, but instead comes in knit form.

This isn’t the first time that Tidwell has “yarn bombed” before. She is actually pretty notorious for her pieces of work in the Sammamish area as well.

Michael Jackson Flashmob in Seattle

On Michael Jackson’s birthday, fans all over the Seattle area gathered at 10 AM this morning at Cal Anderson Park to learn a choreographed dance to Michael Jackson’s “Beat It.” If you weren’t there, you weren’t officially a part of the flashmob and wouldn’t be able to join in on the dance festivities which occured at 1:10 PM, 2:05 PM and 3 PM at Occidental Park, Pike Place Market and Kerry Park respectively.

I love you Seattle!
