Step inside the Amazon Spheres in Seattle with me—a lush rainforest in glass domes filled with plants, waterfalls, and creativity.
A year ago, almost to the day, I stepped into what felt like a portal to another world—the Amazon Spheres in Seattle. And now, as Amazon just published my very first book, that experience feels even more connected and meaningful.
The Spheres are a trio of giant glass orbs nestled in the heart of Amazon’s headquarters. But what’s inside is pure magic. I felt like I’d stumbled into a tropical rainforest—with lush greenery, waterfalls, a remarkable variety of plants, and even fish quietly swimming in glass tanks. It’s peaceful, surreal, and unexpectedly inspiring.
The structure that stole my heart? A whimsical wooden bird nest nestled high among the foliage. Sitting inside felt like stepping into a storybook. It was one of those quiet moments where you feel something shift—a creative spark, a little awe.
And just outside? A free banana stand. Yes—free bananas for anyone walking by. It’s quirky, generous, and somehow totally fitting with the spirit of the place. It made me smile, and I still tell people about it.
It’s amazing how certain places stick with you. The Spheres wasn’t just a pretty spot—it was a place where I felt something shift. Now, as I hold my book in my hands (thank you, Amazon!), it’s a reminder that creativity can bloom anywhere—even inside a giant glass dome filled with plants.
I put together a quick video teaser of my visit to the Spheres—just enough to give you a taste of this magical place. 👉 Check it out here.
