Bio:
2nd Generation Seattle native who has lived outside of Seattle only 8 of my 68 years. And they were 3 years in Tonasket (population about 950 people} and 4 years in Honolulu where I hated the weather. I am retired and I am looking forward to learning about different parts of my city which has changed so much in my lifetime.
