Hey There, Harborite - Alexis Abruscato

Name/Age: Alexis Abruscato / 27

Where do you live: Cherry Street (the Aberdeen side)

Profession/Day job: Group Sales Manager @ Great Wolf Lodge

Loyal to: Bobcats, baby!

Best Harbor Moment: Buying a piece of the harbor with my husband, Sal, when we moved back in 2006. The Harbor will always be home to me and owning 14 acres of it to raise a family on is incredibly special.

Favorite Coffee Stand: Consistent Cups in Aberdeen

Favorite Local Business: Elma Variety Store

Grunge, Metal or Country: Country; the Harbor's New Country, KIX 95.3 to be exact

Beach, Forest or River: I have to choose just one of the harbor trifecta?! I choose forest because it's the easiest place to hide from the rain and still be outdoors.

Favorite outdoor adventure or day trip: Wynoochee Dam is, by far, one of the best places to go for a day hike or for a weekend camping trip. But a close second for a quick trip outside is the GH National Wildlife Refuge at the Bowerman Airport.

Best way to stay dry on rainy days: Hang up the blue tarp!

Define the Harbor in one word: Soggy

If you could change one thing about the area, what would it be: More nightlife & shopping!

Grays Harbor's best kept secret: Even though it's still in the process of rebuilding after the fire in June, the restaurant at Ocean Crest Resort, hands down, is/was the harbor's best kept secret. Quietly tucked away down a windy beach road, so many people never realized that you could get award winning, world class food served with an amazing cliffside view of the ocean below right here in Grays Harbor!
