A few of Alyson’s favorite things…
Her Quadballer. “After a long run, I love to lay on the Quadballer and roll out. Seriously, it hurts so good!”
Her favorite quote, “The most important thing is, to be able at any moment to sacrifice who we are for what we may become.” – Charles DuBois
The Seattle Seahawks. “I am a proud, devoted and slightly obsessed member of the 12th man team – still on a high from watching them live at the Superbowl in February.”
Her vice, frozen yogurt. “People may have heard me refer to Menchies as the ‘happiest place in Bellingham’ a time or two.”
