Outside the Office
Cynthia was born in Olympia and raised in Bremerton, continuing a family tradition deeply rooted in the Pacific Northwest. Married to her adventurous husband Jim, together they cruise aboard their beloved boat Salacia, which has taken them as far north as Ketchikan. The family cherishes time spent boating, downhill skiing, and participating in Seattle Seafair events, where they volunteer during hydroplane races.
When not cruising or skiing, you might find her diving into a new fashion or home design project or solving word puzzles. Above all, family is central—she adores her daughter Chelsea and granddaughter Samantha, with whom she shares countless adventures and laughter.
