Kent, WA? Sounds familiar... a bit south of Olympia, right? I think I got my car impounded there back in '98 or '99...
I used to live in the Pacific Northwest - grew up in Walla Walla & Milton Freewater, actually. I've done a bit of traveling since then though... I find myself in Ohio via Texas, Mississippi, and Maryland. Funny how life turns out.
Thanks for the warm welcome!
