This morning, Besa Gordon joined Good Day Seattle to share her recent trip to Vashon Island, made possible by the King County Metro water taxi. After taking the water taxi to the island, Gordon was picked up by Chef Dre, owner of the restaurant Gravy, who took her to his favorite spots and served up a taste of Southern soul. Thanks to the water taxi’s additional Saturday schedule to Vashon, Gordon’s day trip shed light on the importance of taking a deep breath and connecting with new people and places. 

The full story on Gordon’s trip to Vashon airs this weekend as part of her special Back2Besa birthday episode. To celebrate, Gordon treated the Good Day Seattle crew to some gourmet cupcakes from Sweetpea’s Cakes.
