Hello, Spring! ☀️
If you stepped outside this weekend anywhere on the Eastside — Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Sammamish — you felt it.
That warmth on your face. That brightness that makes you squint a little. That unmistakable feeling that says: winter is done, and something new is starting.
This weekend was officially the first day of spring. And honestly? It showed up beautifully.
The Eastside in Bloom 🌸
There is something about this community in springtime that I never take for granted. The cherry blossoms along Bellevue Way. The trails at Bridle Trails and Cougar Mountain waking back up. The farmers markets getting busy again. Neighbors actually making eye contact and smiling instead of rushing past each other in the rain.
On Saturday morning I was out early, and the energy was already different. People were walking slower — in a good way. Stopping. Looking around. A few folks had already filled their arms with flowers from the market.
I couldn't help myself. I grabbed a bouquet for my sweetheart. 💛
What Spring Means Here
I've lived and worked on the Eastside for over 25 years. And every spring, without fail, this place reminds me why I never want to be anywhere else.
The Eastside isn't just a great place to work or build a career. It's a community that actually feels like one. You see it in the way people show up for each other — at school events, at local restaurants finally opening their patios again, at the parks filled with kids and dogs and families just happy to be outside.
Spring on the Eastside is a reset. For a lot of people, it's the season when new chapters begin.
A Simple Reminder for Today
You don't need a big occasion to celebrate the good things around you. Sometimes the occasion is just: the sun is out, the air smells different, and it's SRING.
So if you're reading this — take a few minutes today and just enjoy where you live. Walk around your neighborhood. Grab a coffee outside. Call someone you've been meaning to catch up with.
And yes — buy the flowers. 🌷
Happy first day of spring, Eastside. This community is one of the best ones there is.
