It was the crumbling bricks that first attracted me to the Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle, then the old signs, store fronts, cafes, bars, and the post-industrial, bohemian vibe. I’d driven through before, and promised myself that I would return with my camera when I had more time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That was a couple years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week, as I was driving around with my husband and daughter, looking for something random, and out of the ordinary, my husband suggested we hit Georgetown again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eureka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As I was ooh-ing and aah-ing over the textures and colors of old bricks, facades, and signs, I stumbled backwards into a parking lot. Then, I turned around to discover the Georgetown Trailer Park Mall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Random.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out of the ordinary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"078\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My heart swooned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"033\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A caravan of converted trailers, plying assorted wares from handcrafted jewelry and locally produced art, to vintage furs and grandma’s Corning Ware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"011\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"087\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I loved the vibe on this bitterly cold and foggy afternoon. I can’t wait to catch the vibe as the weather warms, and the crowds come out to mingle, at ArtAttack<\/a>, or during a summer happy hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
