Joined Atlas Obscura in 2025

Hi, I’m Dede! A movie lover, traveler, and curious explorer based in Washington. I love discovering unique places, learning local history, and finding the kinds of hidden gems that most people drive right past. I’m always looking for new experiences and new ways to see the world, whether that’s through travel, conversations with locals, or stumbling across something completely unexpected. Through Atlas Obscura, I’m excited to explore more of the country, share stories from the road, and connect with other people who are just as curious as I am!

Me and Myla exploring Cannon Beach, OR.

I Grew Up in Texas and Barely Left. Now I Want to See It All!

Solo festival trips, a handful of cross-country moves, a career change or two and now I'm chasing the weird and hidden corners of Washington State for Atlas Obscura. All 50 states, here I come.
