Scott Cowan
A lifelong resident of Washington who grew up in Tacoma, and spent his six freshman years attending CWU in Ellensburg, Scott’s professional life was spent in Olympia, Seattle and Tacoma.
Deciding that the traffic on the west side was too much, Scott moved with his family to Wenatchee where they are still settling in after almost 8 years. He has found that there is life after the daily commute.
With a passion for good caffeine, hard ciders, and pizza along with the scenic beauty of Washington State you will find Scott out and about in Washington State looking for that next magical cup of coffee.
MacKenzie Passegger
is the face behind our various social media accounts, and also routinely writes articles on our blogs (that you’re hopefully enjoying).
She’s a Washington state native who found herself settling in Austria after bouncing around Europe.
When her kids are not keeping her on her toes, she enjoys cooking, craft beer & traveling back home. Being away from Washington allows her to have a different perspective and has deepened her love for the Evergreen State.
