So many people have grown accustomed to staying inside, keeping to themselves, and avoiding contact the past two years, that some social graces may have grown rusty. 

Meet Matt Brown.

He is Project Manager for the well known STS Construction in West Seattle and says they are extremely busy. "I'm working on a bunch of projects right now," he said, So his free time is at a premium. 

How does he spend it? Pretty often for the last eight months he's found himself making giant soap bubbles.

He goes to Gasworks Park on Lake Union or along Beach Drive in West Seattle where he knows he's bound to encounter people.

"I just love meeting people and seeing their reactions," he said. 

The longest lasting bubble he's seen was still going across the water when he lost sight of it so they are amazingly durable sometimes.

A blend of Dawn dish detergent, baking soda, and something called J-Lube mixed with water and then a tool built out of modified ski poles and cotton rope (with the nylon core removed) tied in such a way so as to create a "frame" of sorts, makes for a perfect bubble creation apparatus.

He also has a bubble maker that does "5000 bubbles every minute" so he's serious about this business. "Some of my bubbles get bigger than my van."

He loves it when they go out over the water, they turn into half domes then come back up again. It's the craziest thing."

"I meet somebody new every day," he said.

If you spot him out making bubbles, don't be afraid to come out of your own.
