Kathi's Story
My favorite way to relax is to talk to my neighbors.
If I'm going to work somewhere, I need to have a a window to be able to deal with the day-to-day.
I basically have not left the Seattle area to live. I love northern New Mexico and have thought about that as a change. But for vacations, I have traveled a bit over the years to Spain, Morocco, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and several states.
My favorite camp spot is in Teanaway just outside Cle Elum where no one else is around and my dog is off-leash.
I love animals. Currently have 3 cats, 1 dog, and a partner. My dog is a pit bull who's name is KoolAid. She is the sweetest and happiest dog I know....Expand for more
My first job was at a newspaper, where I got paid $4 hour to design ads. What I remember most about it is the people.
I own my own business as a graphic designer after many years working for the man. Since I do so much work now with the non-profit world, I pretty much make what I did when I first started working but it helps make good change happen.
I also own rental property, have 6 apartments, and although I'd rather not change toilets, I do. My office is at the big property so I am there and hands on when things come up. I am definitely not a slumlord.
I came out of the closet when I was 27. Took a while, but whatever. Nice to not have to hide who I am.
