Lee and Alyssa met through a mutual acquaintance while Alyssa was on vacation in the PNW. Lee and Alyssa ended up at the same gathering of friends. They hung out and got to know each other for a few days before Alyssa had to go back to Kentucky. For the next few months, they did long distance; Alyssa in Kentucky and Lee in Washington. Alyssa was already planning to move up to Washington before meeting Lee, but it made the move much sweeter. After 5 months of long-distance Alyssa moved to Washington, and they have been together ever since.
