What I Packed for Ten Days in the Pacific Northwest

Plus: suitcase & carry-on bag recs, the best things I ate, and more!

I am just back from a ten day trip to the Pacific Northwest where I visited friends and family in Seattle, Bend, and VERY briefly stopped in Portland, OR before flying home. It was my first time in Seattle and Portland and both were lovely—I’d like to spend more time there.

This BIG UNDIES issue is jam packed! Read on for highlights, photos, and recs from my trip, including:

• Everything I packed for the chaotic Pacific Northwest weather and whether I ended up wearing it

• My go-to suitcase and carry-on bag

• The toiletries I NEVER travel without

• The best things I ate in Seattle, Bend, and Portland.

• Two amazing plus size secondhand shops I visited
