\"\"<\/a>Nancy\u00a0LaVallee\u00a0gives away about 100 pies every Thanksgiving\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, on First Avenue in Seattle\u2019s Sodo\u00a0neighborhood,\u00a0 Nancy\u00a0LaVallee\u00a0stuffs her car with more pies than might seem prudent. She manages to pack in about 50 and a friend piles the rest in her car. They caravan slowly back to Nancy\u2019s Mercer Island home to prepare some hot apple cider and await their guests. Fortunately, there\u2019s never been a fender bender on the way home, which could be messy.<\/p>\n

Nancy is a Mercer Island-based real estate agent for Windermere who sells homes all over the city. She started the great Thanksgiving pie giveaway eight years ago. The pies are for her neighbors and clients.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a big day for me,\u201d says Nancy. \u201cClients from all over the greater Seattle area come to my home for the pie pickup,\u201d says Nancy. \u201cIt\u2019s so fun to see everyone, and to be able to thank them for their support. Everyone loves the pies, and it means they don\u2019t\u00a0have\u00a0to bake as much, which helps since everyone is busy over the holidays.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before settling on Macrina as her pie baker of choice, Nancy went to eight different bakeries and sampled pies. Some years, she\u2019s gotten pumpkin from one bakery, apple from another. But eventually she settled on Macrina. \u201cEight years ago, I started out with a small order, but it\u2019s grown,\u201d Nancy says. \u201cMacrina can handle a hundred pies. Not everyone can handle that volume\u00a0two days before Thanksgiving.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nancy is especially fond of Macrina\u2019s Maple Apple Pie. \u201cI call it the high pie apple pie,\u201d says Nancy. \u201cIt\u2019s meaty. It\u2019s got a lot of apples. And it lasts. I get my pies early. It tastes great two days later, maybe even better. It\u2019s a great tasting pie.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nancy enjoys the ritual of picking up the big order at our Sodo location. \u201cA baker comes out to say hello and they help me load up, which is charming,\u201d says Nancy. \u201cIt\u2019s nice to be able to say thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>In 2020, Nancy put a little note in with the pies saying she was collecting non-perishable food items for Leschi Elementary School families in need. \u201cWe had over 45 bags of food to donate last year,\u201d says Nancy. \u201cIt was quite overwhelming.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year she\u2019s doing it again.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re grateful!<\/p>\n
