AWP is influencing the city of Seattle! Just a few blocks away from the Washington State Convention Center we noticed a poetry reading taking place in the dog park. We also noticed some great finds at the bookfair and learned that writer’s block can be cured with a little bit of chocolate, courtesy of Writers’ Workshoppe Imprint Books.
Other things that we tasted in Seattle today that the rest of you might enjoy can be found at Purple Café and Wine Bar. We definitely recommend these menu items: The Quinoa and arugala salad: mixed quinoa, arugula, roasted butternut squash, le puy lentils, pickled shallots, toasted almonds, parmigiano-reggiano and lemon vinaigrette, and the Pan Seared Skuna Bay Salmon Sandwich with tomato,english cucumber and house tartar.
We appropriately stumbled across Buster Simpson’s art installation on 1st Ave and Virginia Street on our way back to the hotel. I hope Sammy the dog didn’t do his business here.
And for a night cap we ended up at Café Fonté for espresso that was to die for. There was also a great reading happening in the café by Gold Wake Press authors.
