Auteur: Jon Osterberg

Born in Seattle, Jon Osterberg grew up in the Lake Hills neighborhood of east Bellevue, where it seemed every kid under 13 pulled a wooden hydro behind his or her bike. By the time Jon earned his degree in editorial journalism from the University of Washington, he already had been a contributing reporter for five years, ultimately covering hydro racing for the Chelan Valley Mirror, Coeur d”Alene Press, and Wenatchee World newspapers. He enjoyed a long career managing marketing communications for PEMCO Insurance in Seattle, remains active in his church, likes playing guitar and piano, and loves to camp, hike, and fish with family and friends. Starting in 2013, Jon found his best job ever – being Papa to his much-loved grandkids. Jon and his wife, Luanne, live in Redmond and often enjoy time gazing at Mt. Stuart from their cabin near Cle Elum.
