RAINIER

Lonnie is an emerging writer who lives and works south of Seattle in the Green River Valley, where the view of Mt. Rainier never gets old. Currently, she’s earning an MFA in Writing at Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon. She and her husband have three boys, too many animals, and a wild vegetable garden.

 

Lonnie writes to help herself and others understand the transformative power of the places we move through, the surprising ways stories connect us through time and to show how the art of reflection can make everyday life profound.

 

She’s currently researching a book-length project on the history of a Catholic boys’ orphanage­—The Edwin Briscoe Memorial School for Boys—that stood near her home for sixty years.
