Miranda Mellis is the author of Crocosmia (Nightboat Books, 2025) and numerous other books. She lives in Olympia and teaches at The Evergreen State College. She has been writing and painting for 30 years. Her paintings focus on shape and layers of color. They are abstract, depicting channels, currents, folds, color fields and passages of unexpected contiguity and discontinuity.

Olympia Spice is the newly reopened spice shop, formerly Buck's Spices, that uses extensive knowledge of spices to guide visitors toward meeting their culinary needs.
