Tara holds a BA in Art History from the University of Washington and has worked in a number of arts, cultural, and conservation nonprofits. Hailing from a small town on the Olympic Peninsula, Tara continues to be delighted by all she can access by walking, cycling, and bussing across the city.

Want to know more? Here are some fun facts about me:
- This summer I visited 5 lighthouses with my brother and sister
- I acquired a mountain bike during the pandemic and have been slowly exploring our region’s trails. One of my favorite no-car-needed trips is taking the fast ferry to Kingston and riding out to the Port Gamble Forest Heritage Park.
- I have a telescope that I am still figuring out how to use. I love to learn about the stars and ponder the vastness of our universe.
- I have a cat named Catsy Cline and 3 bikes nicknamed after other women in country (Emmylou, Dolly, and Tanya “Trucker”)
