Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! How are you? This week I'm writing you from sunny Seattle, Washington, where we're having our next installment of the SpringOne Tour series.

This is my first time back in New York City since before the pandemic and it has been so much fun. I've been catching up with people I've not seen in years.
