For summer, look for strongoutdoor pillows/strong ($48–$68) in new punchy patterns and colorful strongmelamine plates and bowls /strong($10–$28) to animate your sunset soirees. “Summer is about getting outside and spending time with the people you love. And the summer weather in Seattle is legendary,” Adler says./p
