Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1997
The picture is of Sue and Bill in their Kitchen at Christmas time.
Sue is a retired Tennis Pro who now enjoys gardening and sharing her beautiful flower gardens with others. Her gardens were on the Gig Harbor Garden Tour in 2004.
When she lived in Connecticut, Sue ran a successful B&B for many years.
Bill owns a small business and enjoys landscaping the 13 acres behind their house. When he is not doing those activities, he can be found crabbing in front of their house.
Why the Owner Chose Gig Harbor
We bought the Beach House next door to the house we live in, because we want to protect our view of Mt. Rainier and because we enjoy sharing the view and the beach with others ... particularly new visitors to the Pacific NW. They cannot believe what a beautiful place we live and the abundance of wildlife.
