On behalf of all of us at Juniper Capital, we’re taking a moment to give thanks to our dear families, devoted colleagues, clients and our close-knit community. November is a time to take stock and nurture the treasured relationships around us, give generously of our time to the people who matter most in our lives, and to get out from behind those desks to embrace a little chill outdoors and breathe in this journey we call life.
We wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving and hope you share some quality time gathering with family and friends over the next few weeks.
In the spirit of gratitude and shared experiences, our team at Juniper is sharing a few of their favorite, local holiday-time activities. You don’t even have to brave the crowds downtown Seattle for any of these!
