BACKGROUND

My name is Tara which means Star. I am a true local, growing-up just above the Woodinville wineries. I moved to Seattle for college, starting city life on Greek Row (what fabulous architecture!), then hopping around Wedgewood, Greenlake, Eastlake and more while earning my BA in Sociology and Master in Teaching from the University of Washington - Go Huskies! My husband, John, grew-up in Lake Forest Park and we ventured back to the Eastside together, first updating a 90s home in South Bellevue, then Juanita / Kirkland, and now Norway Hill / Bothell. During this time I was a substitute teacher for the Northshore School District, enjoyed a career at The Boeing Company in Product Support, Training Systems and Supply Chain for military aircraft, earned my Project Management Certificate, then combined my passions and professional skills to follow my happy by joining Windermere as a real estate agent. Our daughter Claire, son Reid, and rescues Bandit and Chloe, joined us along the way keeping us harmoniously busy with sports, boating, hiking, snowboarding, traveling, oh my!
