Cheers to Trying New Things and Celebrating the Wins!

Over the past few months, I’ve been developing a social media series called “Rain or Shine” where I highlight unique things to do around the PNW through short-form storytelling designed for digital attention spans. A recent episode where I visited Roam Wolfdog Sanctuary in Shelton, Washington is nearing 200K views on TikTok with strong engagement across my other platforms as well.

Most people know me from my work as a TV host and features reporter covering entertainment, lifestyle, and Seattle events. Creating “Rain or Shine” has been a great reminder that strong storytelling works everywhere. Studio. Camera. Phone. Any platform. My goal is always the same: make something entertaining and informative and bring people into an experience that inspires them to try new things and explore.

As the media landscape keeps evolving, I’ve been focused on sharpening my digital skills: content creation, video production, editing, cross-platform strategy, short-form storytelling, and travel content. This series has grown into a place where I can use everything I know about on-camera hosting and blend it with what I love about social media creativity.

I’m excited to continue building Rain or Shine while exploring new opportunities in video content, creative strategy, tech, travel, TV, and digital media.

As the series grows, I’m exploring opportunities to partner with a brand that would be a strong fit as an overall sponsor. I’d also be open to sponsorship for individual episodes or a short run of episodes.

And if you ever need creative storytelling that connects with people, or if you know a great PNW adventure I should feature next, I’d love to connect.

Rain or Shine: Visiting Roam Wolfdog Sanctuary – A Unique Pacific Northwest Experience

I recently visited Roam Wolfdog Sanctuary, a wolfdog sanctuary near Hood Canal, Washington, as part of my Rain or Shine series. This special place allows visitors to hike and interact with socialized wolfdog puppies, and I even got to feed a wolfdog by hand — an unforgettable experience!

For this episode (which got nearly 100,000 views on TikTok within a day and 190,000 views within the first week), I focused on capturing the unique personalities of these incredible animals, the sanctuary’s mission, and the serene natural surroundings. Rain or Shine is all about showing authentic and inspiring experiences in the PNW, and this episode highlights the beauty of connecting with nature in a safe, responsible way.

This project reflects the type of creative content I produce for wildlife, travel, and lifestyle brands — from concept and scripting to filming, editing, and storytelling. If you’re a sanctuary, tourism organization, or brand interested in authentic influencer content, Rain or Shine is designed to showcase your experiences naturally and compellingly.

As the series continue to grow, I’m exploring partnerships with brands that would be a natural fit—whether as an overall sponsor, for individual episodes, or for a short run of content.

You need to add this to your Pacific Northwest bucket list! 🌲

I recently spent a weekend at Alderbrook Resort & Spa, a pet-friendly waterfront resort on the Hood Canal, just two hours from Seattle. From cozy rooms and a spa with a view to Northwest-inspired cuisine, it was the perfect weekend escape — and a beautiful setting for my Check In With Carly series, where I explore unforgettable destinations, starting with Washington and the PNW.

For this episode, I focused on capturing the resort’s serene atmosphere, unique amenities, and local experiences. We also highlighted nearby adventures, like a visit to Roam Wolfdog Sanctuary, and local dining at Hook and Fork. My goal with Check In With Carly is always to create content that’s visually stunning, informative, and aspirational, while staying authentic and engaging for my audience.

This project reflects the type of creative content I produce for travel, lifestyle, and tourism brands — from concept and scripting to filming, editing, and storytelling. If you’re a resort, destination, or brand interested in authentic content creation and influencer collaboration, Check In With Carly is designed to showcase your property or experience in a natural and compelling way.

As the event host, I led conversations about the season’s newest beauty trends, featuring live demos and expert tips from Sephora, Armani Beauty, Valentino Beauty, Aveda, Chromatique Salon, and more.

The event had such great energy — with a fabulous audience full of local beauty and fashion lovers.

Come with me to Bumbershoot 2025!

You know I like taking you to fun Seattle events, so if you weren’t able to make it to Bumbershoot 2025, I’ve got you covered! 

Bumbershoot is a Seattle music and arts festival that’s been taking place over Labor Day Weekend since the early ‘70s. 

It’s at Seattle Center, which is fun to bop around! I always love this venue because there is so much shade and so many good spots to sit!

My BF and I attended Bumbershoot on Saturday this year! Not only was the music fun - I loved Indigo de Souza and Bright Eyes- but there was so much entertainment (aerial performers! skating!) and art to check out like the Vanishing Seattle exhibit. 

Fun fact: Bumbershoot means umbrella, but luckily there was no rain in sight! 

Follow me for more Seattle adventures! @carlyhenderson_
