Comments or information:
I've lived in Burien, St Louis and Brea California but the best thing I did was to leave Southern California which I never liked and moved back to Pt Orchard in 1994. Happily my 3 children also moved here with their families. Brian teaches 4th grade in Granite Falls, Steve is a mechanic at Boeing and Shellie works at Kitsap Emergency Management. Life is good.
