About a year ago, I found myself seated at a long communal table in Seattle, surrounded by people I had never met. By the end of the evening, it felt as though I had known them for years. That’s the magic of a Supra. Hosted by Seattle-based Supra Dinner Society⁠, this immersive dining experience draws inspiration from the Republic of Georgia’s centuries-old tradition of gathering around a feast led by a toastmaster, or tamada.

We love sharing summer adventures with our fur friends, so it felt like a good time to get a refresher on tips for keeping them safe and cool this season.

It’s officially spring in Seattle and you can already feel the energy buzzing throughout the city. In a city that knows how to appreciate good weather, outdoor dining is a must when the sun comes out! From waterfront terraces to low-key neighborhood patios, Seattle has so many great spots to eat and drink outside.

In Seattle, spring style is less about chasing fleeting trends and more about mastering the art of layering. Seattleites prioritize practical pieces that can handle a little drizzle but still look effortlessly put-together. This season, it’s all about combining trendy touches with timeless staples you’ll reach for year after year: relaxed denim, breathable linen, lightweight cardigans, and bold statement pieces that will never go out of style.
