Joined Atlas Obscura in 2013

I'm a native Seattleite and geography wonk. I majored in classical piano, and I play accordion/keys in a synthy band. I collect maps and vintage cocktail dresses, I hit up karaoke two or three times a week, and I travel as much as I can. I'm on a quest to visit every state capitol building (14 down so far). I host a spelling bee at a bar in Seattle. I'm a baroness of the Principality of Sealand. I wanna see everything.
