Kelly Dahlman-Oeth, Neighbor

I grew up in South Florida, met my wife in seminary in Atlanta, spent four years in Chicago where our twin daughters were born.  A year later, in 1998, my migratory trajectory led the four of us to the most beautiful place I've ever lived, the Pacific Northwest.  Several years and two sons later, we are still here and still in love with this place. 

We live in a wonderful Kirkland neighborhood with 'salt of the earth' neighbors who take the time to get to know you, stop to say 'hi' when you're working in the yard and even get together for an occasional 'block party.'

As if that wasn't enough blessing for one person, as the lead pastor at Lake Washington United Methodist Church in Kirkland, I get paid to do something I love, and I get to do it with some of the most incredibly creative, compassionate, humble and forgiving people I've ever met.
