Built 1901 and continuously modified since, its historical uses as private residence, arts school, and bed and breakfast form a character and spirit worthy of preservation.

I am a strategist by vocation who loves to explore nature, connect with people, and share life-enriching experiences. For 20+ years, I have lived in the beautiful cities of Seattle and Tacoma, WA, USA. I am fortunate to steward an amazing home base—a former bed & breakfast in the historic North Slope District of Tacoma. My approach to hosting is informed by my travel experiences—rooted in authenticity, kindness, community and a bit of magic.

The “North Slope” has a blend of 900+ historic homes, apartments and commercial buildings from 1880 to 1953 - walkabout to check it out! Conveniences: A few great taverns, two pizza joints, good coffee, a bodega, a butcher, an iconic burger drive-in called “Frisko Freeze”, a playhouse, and a laundromat Sights: Wright Park, W.W.
