I am a Pacific Northwest native transplanted to the southeast for 36 years. In 2012, I returned to my childhood home and fell in love with this corner of the country again. I am a grandmother, a storywriter, a teacher, an attention payer, a hiker, and a back roads wanderer. Check out my website (and my memoir) at www.gretchenstaebler.com.

Indeed! I’ve been back in the PNW for 7 years now, after 36 years missing it. Rainier from any distance still reaches into my throat and grabs me. Every time.
