In this episode of Growing Up Yakima, I reminisce about riding the Rotary bus to the Kingdome with my dad to watch the Seattle Seahawks, cheering on heroes like Jim Zorn and Steve Largent, and pretending to be them on the playground at Saint Joe's. From bike gangs inspired by CHiPs to safe neighborhoods that let kids be kids, it's all about the kind of community that shapes you.

I also share how those early experiences influence what we do today at Wilkinson, creating safe, well-run apartment communities and giving people a way to invest in real estate without the landlord headaches.
