Earlier this winter, our content team set out on a road trip up the Olympic Peninsula and into British Columbia to capture imagery of our new blankets and meet with RAD Artist and The Grateful Dead’s backdrop artist, Courtenay Pollock. In the spirit of all things Adventure and Cozy, we asked them for their recommendations up the coast— where to eat, where to explore, and what to listen to on the adventure.

Coastal Cookery - Powell River, BC

The Very Good Butcher - Victoria, BC
“Traveling with our photographer, who is vegan, gave me the opportunity to try foods that wouldn't be my go-tos. The Very Good Butchers Poutine. OH MY. Chef's kiss. Can't go wrong with home-made fries, a good flavorful gravy, topped with fresh herbs and green onion and vegan cheese curds. Really hit the spot. I still think about it.” - Renee, Brand Marketing Coordinator

Hoh Rainforest in Olympic National Park

The most green you’ve ever seen in your life. The Hall of Mosses is a lush rainforest in the Southwest Corner of Olympic National Park just South of Forks, Washington (Yeah, that town from the vampire movie). A 1.1 mile, flat loop makes it perfect for anyone in your family to enjoy.

Take a Ferry and Grab a Window Seat

“We took many ferries during our time in Northern Washington and British Columbia. The only way to get to Powell River is by ferry or seaplane! My favorite ferry ride was from Saltery Bay to Earls Cove, BC but maybe that's because we were lucky enough to catch some sun on this ride and were able to enjoy the mountain views from over the water.” - Renee

Go Skiing at Cypress Mountain

“Cypress Mountain is a ski area in West Vancouver, BC, Canada. Have you ever wanted to Ski with perfect views of snowy mountain peaks and the ocean? Yes the ocean. If the answer is yes, you have to check out Cypress Mountain, especially during sunset. Definitely a view I will never forget!”

WHERE TO STAY

When you’re on the road, sometimes all you need is a tiny cabin to rest your head, if that’s your jam then the Tiny Cabin in Forks, Washington is the spot for you. Take a tour >

No road trip is complete without a playlist that matches the surroundings. On the Olympic Coast, this means tracks and artists filled with rhythm, jazz, and acoustic guitar like Tom Misch, Perfume, Genius, Bon Iver & more. Listen to Renee’s favorites on Spotify.

Meet RAD Artists Jessie & Katey

THE BASICS   Name: Jessie Unterhalter & Katey Truhn Residence: Baltimore, MD Occupation: Muralist team Jessie and Katey are a Baltimore-based artist team that transforms public spaces into playful and vibrant experiences. This dynamic duo has been turning urban areas into works of art for the past decade. And now, we’re teaming up with them to bring you our newest print - Chromatic Voyage. We sat down with the pair to learn more about their process and their latest collaboration with Rumpl. You guys have a signature, geometric style to your art. Has that always been your go-to style or has that evolved over time? Katey: I think it kind of happened over time because we were really interested in murals and the murals we started off making were a little wackier and didn't have as much form in them. Then it kind of made sense going with perfect geometry because we were scaling our designs up and needed a method to do that. It just work...

The first tie dye I saw was this beautiful woman wearing a tie dyed robe. She was gorgeous and I thought to myself, “I could do stuff with this”. She and her friend used to model for me when I was starting out. I'd set up a stage in the boutique and would wrap them in different exotic fabrics. I’d create live costumery and would sell them as we would make them. What was your first commission? There was a woman opening a meditation room and my first commission was to tie dye the meditation room. She wanted the walls and the floors to all be in one continuo...
