I live in a very special part of the Pacific Northwest. We are just minutes from the B.C. Washington state border. We live on the hillside here in White Rock. The views our living room windows give us a wonderful view Mount Baker to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west. On most days we have some of the most beautiful sunsets anyone could wish to see.
What a privilege it is to live here.
