Live Like A Local In Seattle With The Amazing Matthew

March 26, 2021 by Matthew

Well… I don’t know how amazing I am, but Johnny from You Choose My Adventure invited me to contribute to his “Live Like a Local” series that features a different city in the world each week. Although I grew up in Portland and still love Oregon, Seattle has been home for ten years and the vast beauty — powered by abundant water — still leaves me in awe. I’m so thankful to live in the stunning Pacific Northwest and appreciate the opportunity to bring my “Emerald Pride” to life through this interview.

Take me to the article!

You Choose My Adventure is a fun website that feels like a real version of those choose your own adventure books. The audience selects places for Johnny to travel, and he reports back.

Matthew Kessi stands in front of the famous Freemont Troll, under the Aurora Bridge.  He's smiling and wearing a cap with a puffy winter coat.

I would like to acknowledge that much of my inspiration comes from living on the traditional land of the first people of Seattle, the Duwamish People past and present and honor with gratitude the land itself and the Duwamish Tribe.
