Seabrook’s Beachside Author Series welcomes Seattle-based design writer Lauren Gallow on Saturday, January 30 from 1:00 to 2:30 PM at Town Hall for an afternoon exploring Pacific Northwest architecture, design, and her new book, New Northwest: Residential Architecture in the Evergreen State (Figure 1 Publishing). Hosted by Seabrook and Joie De Livres, the event will include time with the author, audience Q&A, a book signing, small bites and beverages, and books available for purchase.
Featured Book: New Northwest
New Northwest: Residential Architecture in the Evergreen State explores a new generation of homes taking shape across Washington and the architects reimagining Northwest Modernism for the way people live today.
Through striking photography and stories behind the projects, Lauren looks at the relationship between architecture and the Pacific Northwest landscape, and how thoughtful design responds to place, climate, materials, and the everyday experience of home.

Settle In for a Winter Weekend
January brings a quieter rhythm to the Washington Coast, with wide-open beaches, dramatic skies, and plenty of reasons to stay cozy indoors. Spend the weekend in Seabrook exploring Town Center, finding your next read at Joie De Livres, and enjoying the kind of unhurried winter days that leave plenty of time for a good book. After the author event, head back to your vacation home for a warm evening in while the coastal weather unfolds outside.
