You ever meet someone who just gets your vision, like without you even having to say much? That’s exactly what it’s been like working with photographer Jordan Somers over the years. If every photo he’s taken could talk, I swear they’d tell a full story of growth, creativity, and a whole lot of joy.

This week on Good Day Seattle, Back2Besa host Besa Gordon brought a little sweetness to the set for her birthday episode with custom cupcakes from Sweetpea’s Cakes.

By Besa Gordon - Day two of Terrain 16 was a whole vibe! I’m not gonna lie, your girl definitely slept in because that road trip had me wiped out. But once I got up, it was go time. First stop, Durkin’s—because it’s basically a Spokane tradition at this point.

By Besa Gordon: Terrain never disappoints, and this year was no different! Day one of Terrain 16 kicked off with a preview night full of energy, art, and community. If you’ve never been, trust me, you want to hit both days. With so many performances, installations, and artists in the mix, there’s no way to take it all in at once.
