I was born in Seattle. I lived in Seattle until I was six, when my family moved to Bellevue. Stayed in Bellevue until I was 18, when I joined the Army.
I went to Ft. Polk, LA for basic, Ft. Wolters, TX and Ft Rucker, AL for flight school, spent a month in Savannah, GA then went to Vietnam for a year.
I tried moving to eastern Washington (Wenatchee, then Yakima) but returned to the coast for college.
I lived on Camano Island and went to college in Mt. Vernon and Bellingham.
Since then, I've lived in the Everett/Marysville area, since 1981. I haven't done much traveling, except on vactions to Miami, FL, for a cigar event and California to visit family.
LaBunny and I have taken vacation and done Seattle as tourists. There is a lot of fun stuff to do there, if you look for it.
Otherwise, I try to stay out of Seattle. It's just too busy for me.
