Hi, I'm Marie.

 

I've been a West Seattle resident for over 35 years. I've had a lot of adventures in that time. I owned a landscape design and consulting company for 20 years.

 

I have been a volunteer with the West Seattle Garden Tour, Seattle Chinese Garden Society (before the garden was built), and I was the project manager for the former Triangle Park. I was on one of the committees that helped create Seattle's first Comprehensive Plan. 

 

I've worked at Junction Hardware and West Seattle Nursery.  

Along the way, I've been writing. I've collected some of those stories here. ​​

I had the great honor of making a small contribution to this remarkable book.

If you are a PJ fan, you need a copy.
