Welcome Cody and Taylor Watts to the Readings Gallery in celebration of their debut book, The Deck: Stories from a Pandemic.
About this Event

When schools closed in Bellingham, Washington, on March 13, 2020, and Washington State issued stay-at-home orders to curb the spread of COVID-19, middle school students Cody and Taylor Watts began the exercise of daily journaling. Recorded here is the unpredictable year that followed, chronicled alongside the mundane and the remarkable day-in-the-life of two young brothers living through what became a pandemic and one of the most challenging and unimaginable years in American history.

Cody Watts is a high school senior and a Running Start student at Whatcom Community College. He will graduate in 2025 with a high school diploma and an Associate of the Arts degree. He's also on the swim team and the soccer team at Bellingham High School. In his free time Cody plays the guitar, and enjoys going to the gym and spending time with Wilson.

Taylor Watts is a junior in high school and a full-time Whatcom Community College student. In 2026 he will graduate with both a high school diploma and an Associate of Science degree. He is currently a tennis player and soccer striker with Bellingham High School. He is planning on studying medicine later in college, while continuing to be an athlete. Aside from academics, Taylor enjoys lifting weights, photography, cooking and exploring the outdoors.

You can find the Watts brothers online at www.thedeckbook.com and on Instagram @thedeckbook.
