West Seattle

 

I've lived in West Seattle for 30+ years, most of that time at Alki Beach. Growing up, I lived near San Francisco and later in the foothills of the Sierras - I've always been drawn to mountains and salt water. West Seattle offers the best of both worlds. I've worked for West Seattle companies, started a couple of businesses here myself, volunteered in various ways, sung in community choir, and made friends.

West Seattle is home.
