On October 27 2011 I got an email from Tyrone Beason, a journalist for the Seattle Times. He was in the process of "...writing an upcoming piece about people in our region who are struggling to move into (or remain in) the middle class at a time when many are slipping down the economic ladder. If you're interested in participating and sharing the story of your family, it would be great to chat and go from there..." Over the next several months we did several interviews and photo shoots with Mr Beason and award winning newspaper photographer Ken Lambert. Eventually the article was published with our photo on the cover.
