How we got here

Our Story

We both chose the University of Washington. We also both chose business. We also, somehow, both chose accounting — which tells you either everything or nothing about how this was always going to go. Go Dawgs.

But we didn’t meet on campus. A recruiting event took Patrick back years later, and he met Brenna at a bar nearby.

The rest, as they say, is history — we dated for a few years before first living together in London. A while after that, we bought a house in Seattle without ever setting foot in it.

And now we live very happily in Green Lake with Soča, our Mexican immigrant husky, who lives a life of relaxation and squirrel temptation.

A fun little what-ifTwo Paths, One Park

Patrick spent a few childhood vacations at his great-grandmother’s place a few blocks from Audubon Park. Brenna grew up right there. Same trees, same sidewalks, roughly the same era — and no idea. Did we ever cross paths? We choose to believe so.

Make a weekend of it

While You’re in Spokane

The falls, the wine, the haunted-looking bookstore — our favorite corners of the city, mapped and ready.

Family-Friendly

Riverfront Park

Spokane's most iconic destination — home of the 1974 World's Fair. Ride the Numerica SkyRide gondola over Spokane Falls, spin on the Looff Carousel, let the kids loose on the Red Wagon, and walk the paths past the clocktower.
