One of the women in our May/June “Trailblazing Women” issue, couldn’t believe she was in the same magazine that featured noted actor and Seattle native Jean Smart.

You no doubt know a woman with a combination of personal and professional traits that contribute to their immense achievement and success. We introduce you to a dozen of these women in the May/June issue of Seattle magazine. They describe, in their own words, how they’ve used their strategic thinking skills, emotional intelligence, resilience, and leadership to make both a name for themselves and a more inclusive Seattle community. 

We also celebrate domestic-abuse survivor Hannah Byrd, who is rowing across the Pacific Ocean with three teammates to educate, inspire, and empower women of all ages. 

Looking for a gourmet sandwich? We explore several top chefs who are making sandwiches you have to taste to believe. Warning: This is not Subway, and in some cases will cost a little more, but we guarantee they’re well worth the money.

Get ready for summer travel with our semi-annual travel issue (Snohomish, anyone? It’s a thing), and get prepared to kick off summer with books from three respected Seattle authors.

That’s just a smattering of what’s in store in our newest issue.
