This long time Gatewood Hill resident just bubbled over when he talked about living in West Seattle. He is one happy fella, a former tool and die machinist he is now almost 86-years-old.
Fritz likes to sit on the bench at Fred Meyer in Burien while his wife shops and he chats amiably with others.
He is originally from BADEN BADEN.
Baden Baden is in Southern Germany and is famous world wide for the healing waters of its copious springs.
Most West Seattleites feel special about living here and have no wish to move anywhere else.
With most homes from Alki to Endolyne providing views east and west of 35th S.W. residents here feel privileged. I asked him if he ever tired of rain and he laughed. "Believe me, West Seattle is as good as it gets.I just love the climate, my neighbors, my home."
