Seattle Nights
I’m calling the dark theme Seattle Nights – it pulls in the steely gray-blue of the Seattle Rain Festival (which runs yearly from Oct 1 to Sep 30) against the backdrop of city skyline.

While I like keeping my root fairly clean, this also easily allows for any future needs. I’m sure a few years down the road I’ll want to give the site a refresh. I can do that …
