where we could get involved and navigate, potentially buy a house.

LAURA
MARONEY
I
was born in West Tennessee and moved to Seattle in 1985. I got married
in 1987 to my husband Sid. I got my opticians license in 1985 and
worked in many different areas of eye care at Seattle Eye Care for
18 years.

At the start of the
internet craze I started an informational website regarding the
eye and vision called eyesearch.com. It was a very exciting time
and I learned so much from the experience.
After
September 11th, 2001 Sid and I decided we should not wait to live
where we wanted and so we moved to Sequim and I started a new
career as a real estate agent at Windermere Sunland. We love the
outdoors and feel truly blessed to be living in Sequim. I am happy
to be a new member of such a great organization.
"Too
late we learn, a man must hold his friend
Unjudged, accepted, trusted to the end."
