It's a small number but translates into a 36 percent increase in population, and that doesn't include those who moved into the areas surrounding the town. Many of the newcomers are fleeing even modest-size cities elsewhere around the Sound. Harter, husband Mike and their daughters moved here 10 years ago from Lynnwood. After touring the town they were smitten. We drove out here and that's it. . . .
People are friendly.
The couple bought a home on Stillwater Hill, north of town. It's really nice. You can't see in your neighbor's window.
