I’ve lived in Seattle for five years now. Seattle has a thriving and dynamic arts community. It’s been incredibly rewarding to live and work here as a member of this community.
One thing about this city, perhaps not particular to Seattle, is the spirit of community service that runs throughout it. Everyone seems to have a cause they support - you support theirs & they support yours. You go to benefit lunches, breakfasts, dinners and auctions auctions auctions galore! Last year or so we have made donations of all sorts to CareGifted, Copper Canyon Press, Artist Trust, Legal Voice, Green Schools, Evergreen School, The Bertschi School, Water 1st International, Cure the Kids, Art with heart, The UG Mission, Goodwill, Cascadia Wildlife, Children and Youth for Justice, Childhaven, Pratt, Allied Arts Foundation, the Food Bank, CoCA, S.L.E. Lupus Foundation, National MS Walk, SAM, SAL and others, plus a variety of private donations.
