Welcome!

Welcome! This blog is being created to archive the military histories of veterans living in the Huntington Park West neighborhood in Des Moines, WA.

Huntington Park is a pleasant "55+" neighborhood built on a bluff on the east side of Puget Sound in western Washington. My wife and I moved here in the spring of 2024 from nearby Kent, WA. I realized that plenty of people here were in my 70+ age group, and I was curious about how many military veterans were living among us. So, I placed a notice in the community newsletter proposing a meeting date and time for a meeting at the clubhouse. We had a surprisingly good turnout, and have been meeting at the clubhouse on the third Thursday of every month for fellowship and storytelling since then.

The blog is public and available to all friends, family, and neighbors of the Huntington Park military veterans. Your comments are encouraged and welcomed.

Enjoy!
