Jeff Sifferman is another great friend whom I am very lucky to know. I met him in Seattle in 1982 and we became instant friends. Jeff has lived in the Alki area since we first met and currently lives with his wife, Doreen, and their 4 children. This guy loves nature and can frequently be found pulling invasive ivy from Schmidt's Park. He also loves the Pacific Coastline all the way from Washington State to Baja, Mexico.
Jeff and I have been on several trips in The Cascades. We've hiked into Pratt Lake, climbed Kaleetan Peak, Granite Mountain and a rugged hike up from the Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie River to a ridge just below Big Snow Mountain.
