On being a caretaker...

Amy Bargelt reflects on moving east, parenting and more

MOSES LAKE – Amy Bargelt grew up in the Marysville area, north of Seattle. Growing up, it was a small town, but it was eventually swallowed up by Seattle. “When I had my son, I didn’t want him to grow up in a little Seattle. I got to grow up slow, and I wanted to do the same for my kid,” Bargelt said.
