Our story

In the gentle hush of winter 2017, my family - my husband Victor, our two sons, and myself, Valentina - arrived in the cozy town of Issaquah, Washington. Wrapped in our warmest coats, we eagerly embarked on our new adventure, leaving behind the sunshine of Southern California.

What caught our hearts immediately was the warmth that emanated from the people of Issaquah. There was a comforting contrast between the cool winter air and the cozy embrace of the community. As days turned into weeks, we discovered the enchanting beauty of Issaquah. Even in winter, the town was alive with a certain magic – the lakes were mirrors of silver, and the mountains stood like silent guardians.

As the winter subsided and our first spring in Issaquah blossomed, I realized that this town had quietly and effortlessly become an inseparable part of our lives.
