Coming Back, experience local.

Bridget Young grew up in Indianola, and graduated from North Kitsap High School. While Kitsap County intially felt too small and provincial, she experienced college on the East Coast and was sure that she would never return. Within five years, she returned with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a husband in tow. Becoming a visual artist, art curator and art gallery employee in Seattle, what was initally thought to be a short detour, evolved into a very successful 24 year career in local real estate. She shares how real estate has taught her more about herself than she could have ever imagined, experiencing and sharing “local” with so many others.

About the speaker

I grew up in Indianola, and graduated from North Kitsap High School. Kitsap County felt too small and provincial, so when I went to college on the East Coast I was sure that I would never return. I was back within five years with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a husband in tow. After twelves years of working as a visual artist, art curator and art gallery employee in Seattle, I decided that I wanted to be able to afford to go to the dentist and have a child. What I thought would be a short detour into real estate, evolved into a very successful 24 year career. Real estate has taught me more about myself, and the my fellow humans than I could have ever imagined. It has also fostered a passion for writing and storytelling (so many stories). I dreamt of being a foreign diplomat in High School. It turns out that being a realtor means practicing diplomacy every day.
