Grayson Corrales brings her grandmother’s Galician cooking to this cozy tapas bar in the old Café Presse space. Galicia is known for octopus, and the version here is a beautiful twist on the classic. Dishes like oxtail fideuà and tahdig-inspired paella blend her culinary training with family tradition. The result? Incredible food, a bar stocked with kalimotxos and Spanish wine, and a warm, welcoming vibe. Even the ambitious dessert menu is a standout—no small feat in today’s restaurant scene.

Hamlin Robinson School is an incredible independent school in Seattle that specializes in educating students with dyslexia and other language-based learning differences. My daughter goes there, and we absolutely love it! The school provides a supportive, structured environment where kids build confidence and develop a love for learning. Their research-based approach, small class sizes, and dedicated teachers make a huge difference. Beyond academics, they foster a strong sense of community and celebrate each child's unique strengths. We’re so grateful to be part of the HRS family!

Broadway Bound is an amazing youth theater program in Seattle that gives kids the chance to shine on stage while building confidence and teamwork. My son has been in two plays with them and just auditioned for his third! The program is incredibly well-run, with passionate directors and a supportive environment where kids of all experience levels can thrive. They put on high-quality productions, and it’s been incredible to watch my son grow as a performer and gain so much from the experience. Broadway Bound isn’t just about theater—it’s about building lifelong skills and friendships. We love being part of this community!
