During the day, third-generation Seattleite Marlow Harris brokers some of the city’s most alluring real estate. The rest of her time is dedicated to art. Harris and her husband JoDavid curate the Official Bad Art Museum of Art at Café Racer; her websites Seattle Twist and Unusual Life document Seattle’s unusual art, architecture and history. Her motto: “Bad taste costs no more, so why not indulge?”
