#marlo_the_pig at Jones Coffee Roasters

From the street, Jones Coffee Roasters is an unassuming storefront. Inside, it's spacious, filled with local art. They roast their own coffee right on the floor. It's a great place for working too. A few larger tables set into alcoves to give some privacy and smaller tables set all around for students or whoever hangs out at coffee shops these days as well as couches and chairs if that's more to your liking. Oh, and let's not forget the coffee! It's wonderful. Smooth and slightly sweet, the mark of a truly great coffee selection. So, if you need a place to chill for a few hrs, or just want to get some good coffee, this is a great place for both.

Seattle and Mount Rainier

This photograph captures the stunningly beautiful Seattle cityscape, the majestic elegance of Mount Rainier and a moment in my life I will never forget. I remember vividly standing at the top of the Space Needle taking this picture; the winter sun was warm, beaming down on my face.I felt extremely peaceful, in awe of the views surrounding me, an American boy I once loved holding my hand. For a girl from the north of England, I felt like I was on another planet, the opposite side of the world almost, yet wonderfully at home in the unforgettable Emerald city. This photograph symbolizes to me a perfect moment frozen in time; a portrait of love, rebirth and dreams. A reminder to forever aim high.
