Gabe Guarente
Seattle Senior Editor
Gabe Guarente is a former Jersey boy who moved to Seattle in 2016, promptly stocking his closet with flannels in all the plaid colors of the rainbow. Before joining the Infatuation, he was an editor at local newsletter SEAtoday and Eater Seattle. In a previous life, Gabe wrote features for Us Weekly, covered sports for a site owned by MLB, and published a graphic novel for teens. When not checking out a new restaurant, you might catch him playing Dungeons & Dragons, taking his pups for a stroll around White Center, or foraging plums in his backyard (those suckers are everywhere). He’d also like to know when the Sonics are coming back.
