Linda Myers

I was fortunate to move many times while growing up in a military family. I was born in Japan and lived in Colorado, Arkansas, New Mexico, Alabama, Missouri, ICELAND! and Delaware. I attended college in Missouri and Ohio (go Buckeyes!) and moved to southern Tennessee to live on The Farm, the largest collective/commune in the country in 1973. After 12 years in Tennessee, my family settled in northern New Jersey for 30 years when my husband's company moved its operations there. My husband, Steve, and I made the big move west to Olympia in 2015, following my son who attended Evergreen and graduated in 1999. I have enjoyed exploring the forests, creeks, lakes and sea but have much more to see and do!

I became interested in the Community Sustaining Fund while working as a volunteer cashier at the Olympia Food Co-op. After my friend Desdra Dawning passed away in 2023, I reached out to CSF about joining the team. Desdra was on the CSF Board and spoke many times about the great work of CSF and the wonderful like-minded people involved. I joined the CSF Board in the Spring of 2024.
