Lori’s always been something of a rolling stone – trading in life in California for working for non-profits in Fairbanks, Alaska. Then there was her stint in Croatia. But a girl’s got to follow her passion and it turns out it wasn’t Croatia. She next moved back to California and helped some tech “bros” launch their startup. Somehow she visited Port Townsend and decided it was her dream town. Most people would try to find a job. But Lori decided on a different path. Her shop “Chums” is barely a year old now. She’s still refining her concept. Her location draws both the boat crowd and the RVers. In addition to the normal supplies and lots of beer, wine, soft drinks and ice cream, she loves to feature local artists. Come spring, her outdoor patio is the planned center for mini gatherings.
