A northwest native, Katie has lived in Seattle for most of the past dozen years (with a breaks to do some global galavanting, the most recent, a year in Latin America). With a background in nonprofit marketing and a passion for community building, she is currently using these skills to build community a little closer to home. When not chasing after her little rascals, Katie can be found experimenting in the kitchen, hitting the trail with a few toddlers in tow, practicing her Spanish and cruising through the stack of books she always has laying around.
