As a straight guy who was religious, I didn’t grow up understanding what Pride Month meant for those who celebrated it.

It wasn’t until life changed my worldview and brought me gay friends that I could actually consider what it was—and to an extent still is—like for many who do not fit the heterosexual ā€œmold.ā€ While not the same thing, being neurodivergent can feel like I always have to repress or apologize for elements of myself that I cannot change. Listening to the stories of my friends and others like them, they sounded all too familiar.

Pride month has been nationally recognized since the 90s, but did you know that it started more than two decades before? Back in the 60s, it was a crime in almost every state to live openly as a gay person. You could be arrested for simply holding hands, and police regularly raided the few underground spaces where people went just to find safety. Police even raided private homes, unannounced. Take a moment to imagine that.

On June 28, 1969, police raided a bar in New York City called the Stonewall Inn. But that night, something shifted. The patrons reached a breaking point. They decided they were completely done hiding, masking, and living in fear. They fought back, sparking days of protests that ignited the modern fight for basic human rights.

One year later, the very first Pride marches were organized. They weren’t a party—they were a brave, visible stand to say: ā€œWe deserve to live safely, and we deserve the right to love without fear.ā€

I know how much courage it takes to live authentically, and I greatly admire those who are unapologetically themselves. While not everyone’s experience, I also know the underlying psychological work it takes to re-learn how to love oneself.

But it’s not my place to preach; it is my place to learn, to listen, and to make sure my business and my community are spaces where everyone feels safe to live authentically.

To everyone celebrating this month, I wish you a safe and happy Pride. You belong.

I’ll be completely honest: growing up as a white man, I had no idea Juneteenth existed.

It wasn’t in my school textbooks, it wasn’t on my calendar, and I didn’t know the history behind it until it officially became a federal holiday.

Like many people, I was taught that the Emancipation Proclamation was the definitive end of slavery in America. But that wasn’t the experience of many Black Americans. Abraham Lincoln signed that proclamation on January 1, 1863. Yet, for two and a half years, no one bothered to tell the enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, and other remote areas that they were legally free.

It grieved and angered me to read that for 900 days, human beings were kept in brutal—and now unlawful—bondage simply because Texas slave owners chose to withhold the news, and there weren’t enough Union troops in the area to enforce the law.

It wasn’t until June 19, 1865, when Union Major General Gordon Granger finally marched into Galveston and read General Order No. 3, that the last remaining enslaved people in the Confederacy learned the truth. Juneteenth marks that exact moment.

Here’s a poignant excerpt from the Nat’l Underground Railroad Freedom Center:

ā€œImagine you and your family had suffered through 10 generations of enslavement, and experienced the trauma of watching family members being sold away from each other. Imagine punishments so severe, they nearly ended your life. Imagine being reminded every day you’re nothing but property, and constantly feeling the desire for freedom. Now, imagine the day freedom finally comes for you and your family. What would that day mean to you?Ā  Would you remember that date?Ā  Would you cherish and celebrate that date for generations to come? Would you use that date to continue the fight for inclusive freedom? This is what Juneteenth means to millions of African Americans across this country.ā€

To everyone celebrating today, I hope your day is filled with community, reflection, and joy. Happy Juneteenth.

A Tale of Three Markets: Tacoma vs. Port Orchard vs. Gig Harbor šŸŒ”ļøšŸ“Š

The June data is in, and the broad headlines do not always apply here. Real estate is hyper-local. Right now, our three major South Sound hubs are running on entirely different wavelengths:

⚔ TACOMA: Fast & Disciplined Sellers are pricing accurately from day one, and buyers are rewarding them. Days on Market plummeted 42% down to just 7 days. Homes are going pending after 19% fewer showings, and sellers are getting 100% of their list price. Buyer warning: Expect multiple offers here.

šŸ”„ PORT ORCHARD: Sideline Buyers Pounce New listings dropped 14%, but pendings shot up 18%. Homes are flying off the market in 11 days (averaging just 7 showings to lock in a contract). Sellers who do the listing prep-work are getting 100% of asking price, while unpolished homes sit.

āš“ GIG HARBOR: The Healthy Sweet Spot Buyers are hungry (pendings up 33%), but inventory keeps pouring in to meet them (up 24%), leading to a balanced 3.3-month supply. Homes take about 16 days to sell at 99.8% of list price. Sellers get serious buyers in two weeks; buyers get choices and breathing room.

The Real Takeaway: Whether a market is ā€œhotā€ or ā€œbalancedā€ means nothing until we map it against your personal budget, timeline, and neighborhood.

A one-of-a-kind evening. šŸ–¼ļøāœØ

We are incredibly grateful as we look back on the CaptureWA live gallery event at PublicDisplay.ART last Friday. What started as a vision to celebrate local photography transformed into a beautiful, high-energy night of art, community, and a big impact. While our photographer processes the photos from the event, here is a ā€œsnapshotā€ of how it went (like what I did there?).

We brought together 30 artists, and compassionate, generous people for an intimate evening under the gallery lights. Together, we walked the floor, cast our live votes for the ā€œPeople’s Pick,ā€ and watched as Debby Roth sold 14 of the Elite 16.

Because of your overwhelming generosity, we raised $3,433.75! With 90% of these proceeds going directly to the International Rescue Committee in Seattle, these funds will go to work on the front lines—supporting local refugee resettlement, economic empowerment, and vital community integration programs right here in WA.

A massive thank you to our incredible sponsors, who donated items or discounted their services for the cause: Artlove Salon/PublicDisplay.ART, Michael’s Custom Framing, Artful Bites Design, Roth Benefit Auctions, Patty Tang, Seattle Symphony, Seattle Great Wheel, Wings Over Washington, Bloedel Reserve, and Kula Cloth.

Thank you to our 10 professional photographer judges who took time out of their busy lives to offer their expertise: .studio . And to all who submitted your precious photos across WA state, including our brilliant finalists—thank you for showing us the true beauty of the Pacific Northwest through your lenses.

And thank you to for helping spread the word for this first-time event.

We set out to celebrate what it means to capture Washington, but you all showed us what it means to support it. Thank you for helping our new neighbors plant roots and build a home. šŸŒ²šŸ’›

Yet there may be more to come. Something could be brewing in IRC Spokane… To be determined!

Classics on the pavement, history on the water. šŸŽļøāš“ļøāœØ

The Maritime Gig Festival wrapped up last weekend, and it reminded me exactly why we choose to live, work, and plant roots in Gig Harbor. This community knows how to honor its heritage!

While the ā€œWheels on the Waterā€ Car Show brought out some of the most meticulously restored classics in the PNW, the true soul of the weekend belongs to Sunday’s deeply moving Blessing of the Fleet.

Did you know the history behind this 50+ year local tradition?
āš“ļø The Roots: Dating back over five decades in the Harbor—and centuries before that in old Mediterranean fishing villages—the blessing was established in 1971 to preserve and celebrate our commercial fishing heritage as we transitioned from a fishing village into a residential community. It is also to bless and honor our local fisher-people traveling to the treacherous waters of Alaska to support their families.
ā›Ŗļø The Procession: Led by St. Nicholas Catholic Church and the Knights of Columbus, the ceremony begins with bagpipes echoing down the hill to the waterfront, carrying the ā€œOur Lady of the Harborā€ icon.
šŸ’ The Tribute: After a service at Skansie Park, the priests get on a boat to use Super Soaker-style water guns to spray the fleet with holy water. Floral wreaths are placed into the water and a bell tolls to remember those tragically lost at sea. Once the final prayer is said, the entire harbor erupts in a chorus of boat horns echoing across the water—marking the official start of the commercial fishing season.

It’s a beautiful, sacred reminder that long before our waterfront was lined with beautiful dining spots and real estate, it was a gritty, hardworking fishing village.
