PLEASE MEET THERESA :
Meet Theresa. She lives in a tiny house community in Georgetown. This place is a small plot of land, cozy with tiny houses. They take people in on a case by case scenario, often those having a special need.
A lot of people who live here have beautiful pets. I met Rambo the sweet pit bull, KoKo the little guy, Opal and Coral the Huskies, and a random sweet kitty that let me pick him up.
Theresa has a large beautiful white American Japanese (I had to google that, very beautiful dogs) Akita named Wilbur. Theresa and Wilbur used to live in a house with a fenced in yard where Wilbur was free to roam the property. You can just see the love between her and her dog, it's something special.
Hard times fell upon Theresa when she fell ill and was not able to work. Unable to pay her mortgage, she fell behind and lost her home of ten years. She and Wilbur had nowhere to go. I asked her where she went. "To the woods at first." The two of them eventually found refuge at Meyers Way tiny home community, and they lived there in a tent. "It's been very traumatizing and depressing, but things are going to start getting better for us. You just have to stay positive." She has a kind smile and an easy way about her, and Wilbur has the same gentle demeanor.
Theresa loves the sense of community here. "Everyone is helpful, there's a lot of kind souls here." On most days, you can find Theresa walking Wilbur to a park along the Duwamish River.
