Blue Bottle Art Gallery

About 6 years ago, the mister and I lived on Capitol Hill in the Pike/Pine corridor. We rented a loft condo in a building called the Portofino right across from The Capitol Club. That neighborhood is a mix of great boutiques, cool coffeehouses, good restaurants and The Blue Bottle Art Gallery. Blue Bottle is actually in the bottom of the Portofino - they moved in after we had moved out, but I had an occasion to swing by the other day and was happy with what I found. Home to artist Matthew Porter, Blue Bottle "exhibits and sell artwork and handmade functional items from local and national up-and-coming artists, designers and crafters." That's an endeaver close to my heart!
