Social Media & Storytelling Lead

Please note: this job description changed on 7/17/26 from full time to part-time. For transparency, here is the prior JD . Current Tuli Context Tuli Lodge started as a six-month proof of concept on Pier 62, and now we’re operating two new locations this summer: one on the Lake Union piers in South Lake Union, and an “outpost” at Old Stove Brewing’s Ship Canal in North Queen Anne.
