Yes!!! We fell in love too!!! So many kind people and fun things to see and do!! The weather is wonderful too - sure, rains all the time but all you need is waterproof shoes and jackets and off you go out to play!! Welcome again!!
Okay, I MIGHT have guessed Washington, but only because I live there. Kitsap is lovely. I have a friend who lives over there. (Not far from the Hood Canal bridge, and another friend (kid lit author) on Bainbridge. Is that Kitsap too?
Congrats on finding a house and moving to WA! I hope you love it here. And if the state of pharmacies is any indication, Aaron will have more job offers than he can handle.
Haha, thank you Anne! I'm so excited to get to know the kidlit community. It can be hard starting over, but it is comforting to know there are kidlit friends around. Bainbridge is gorgeous (and I believe part of Kitsap). We'll be nearby in Silverdale.
Welcome to Washington! I live nearish Kitsap County - so, waving hello from nearby. If you need/want any Gig Harbor/Tacoma recommendations, just send me a message. There are a few writers' groups you might want to check out - KLAW, Kitsap Literary Association of Writers, and the Greater Gig Harbor Literary Society, which serves writers all over the peninsula and south sound. We are all volunteers with all levels of experience, so we band together to get tables and booths at fairs and other events for book sales.
Oh my goodness, amazing! Thank you for telling me about this — once we get settled, it will be so nice to make friends with other writers in the community ❤️ Definitely a comfort when starting over in a new place. Thank you!
