I'm Western Washington born and raised. I grew up in the foothills of the Snoqualmie Valley and split my time off the Wallace River just West of the Wallace Falls. So I am definitely proud of what my state has to offer and get out with my significant other as much as possible to celebrate it. We're new to the WTA and the circle of enthusiasts while still considered "newbies" to the trend of extreme hiking. But we're glad to be here and share it with our fellow enthusiasts all the same. I don't get weekends off, but each month I get a "Sunday Funday" to take my girl out on the trails and see what our state has to offer. . . . . I hope to see ya'll out there someday
