About
K. Y. Anderson
K.Y., or Kris, a fourth-generation Washingtonian, lives with her husband and son on the shores of Dyes Inlet (named by the US Ex Ex), which she enjoys kayaking in on sunny days and strolling along in less favorable weather.
During her senior year at Linfield University, she interned for the Smithsonian Institution's Magnificent Voyagers: The U.S. Exploring Expedition 1838-1842 (Wilkes Expedition).
After retiring from corporate life and starting a successful commercial meadery a few decades later, she resumed her zeal in this expedition.
In addition to researching and writing, she volunteers with the Navy League and other groups and enjoys immersion research, such as visiting the locations Expedition members explored in person.
