Julien Perry

Julien Perry has been discovering Seattle through its many restaurants and bars since her college days at the University of Washington in the late 90s. A former student of both the UW School of Communications and the Seattle Art Institute Baking and Pastry program, Julien began her food media career as the restaurant reporter for ABC affiliate KOMO News, followed by Seattle Weekly columnist, Eater Seattle editor, Seattle Magazine food editor and most recently as an editor for MSN Food & Drink. Her work has also appeared in Food & Wine and Food Network. But her journalism career began the day after she graduated from college when she moved to New York to pursue a job as an editor's assistant at CBS News, as well as an internship with the great Charles Osgood. Her first book, Seattle Cooks, by Figure 1 Publishing, debuted in September 2018, followed by Washington Wine + Food: The Cookbook in June 2020.
