Seattle Staff Writer
Born and raised in Seattle, Kayla Sager-Riley often uses “Seattle” as an adjective. She has worked at various restaurants, for a tech company (very Seattle), completed a stint in local television, and received her MBA from Seattle University. Now, Kayla is a Seattle Staff Writer, which means she’s eating at more restaurants than she can count. She spends her Sundays searching for the city's best breakfast burrito and complaining about the price of a bagel. How Seattle.
