After multiple decades in the hills of Hollywood, Jeanne and Bill were ready for a new adventure. They had always been drawn to the Seattle area where Bill had relatives. On a trip to the Northwest to visit friends and family, Bill discovered Vashon Island. He knew he had found their new home. The island's rural character, incredible natural beauty, strong community, and proximity to Seattle felt just right. They moved here in 1995 just in time for their daughter to begin high school.
A few years ago, Jeanne and Bill decided to "downsize." As it turns out their new home is a little bigger than the one they left, but it is divided into two residences. They live in the upper residence and have renovated the lower residence for friends, family, and travelers.
After 18 years in a lovely home overlooking the inner Quartermaster Harbor from a distance, they now live a stone's throw from their beloved harbor and love watching the movement of the tides, the wild life, and the many boats that come and go at all times of the year. On a clear day, Mt Rainier graces them with her majestic presence.
