An Historic Meeting in Tacoma

 

5/28/25 Downtown Tacoma

For the first time ever, the four admins of USk Seattle met in person! Before Kim joined the team a couple of years ago, the other three of us had business meetings in person at least annually, but the pandemic ended that. We got so used to conducting business by email and occasionally on Zoom that it seemed like such a novelty to meet over an actual café table – followed by sketching, of course. It's a pleasure and privilege to work with such dedicated, hard-working women!

Since Tacoma is about halfway between north Seattle and Olympia, it was a sensible meeting location. Driving south with Kim, I was trying to remember the last time I sketched in Tacoma, and like so many things, it was before the pandemic. It was high time to get back there, especially on what turned out to be our one day of summer in May! I picked out a few favorite icons in downtown Tacoma, which is rich with interesting architecture.
