The Real MIKE BAILEY - Volume 1

I live in the city of Seattle. I was born here and partly raised here. I have also lived in Toms River, New Jersey where I spent my formative years from ages 11 to 16. I spent half my life trying to get back to Seattle. After we came back to the State of Washington my parents moved farther and farther away from Seattle. We moved to the little town of Snohomish when I was in my junior year of high school, then I joined the Marines Corps after I graduated from high school. Then when I got back from 18 months of war training and war I got married. We ended up staying in Snohomish County. All in all it took me almost 30 years to get back to my home town. I came back to Seattle in 1989 and have been here ever since. I love traveling, photography, writing, art, culinary arts, family history and many other things. You will find all these and more on this blog.
