I love working in Tacoma. My great great grandparents were loggers here in Tacoma, having come to Tacoma by way of Pysht (near Port Angeles), Michigan, and Scotland and Ireland. The county-city building in Tacoma sits on the site of my great grandfather Waters store "Waters The Grocer" open in the 1880's. Every day I walk on the ground my great grandfather walked more than a century ago. I feel privileged working in Tacoma assisting the elderly and their children.

not very pleased
I hired her to do some estate planning for me. I showed up for my first appointment and she had me wait over an hour for her. She was very rude to her employee, while I could hear Jonete telling her employee she had no common sense, then rip paper out of her hand. Besides that, she does know what she is doing, and is very knowledge.
