Sarah Wyan: I began working in the food and beverage industry at the age of 15, and I have only left once for about a year. I thought that I should have an ad career with better hours, as I was beginning a family. But I quickly returned because I couldn't stay away. I missed the people, the craft, and the community. After spending almost 20 years mixing libations for friends and stranger, I have delved further into the industry and am currently the General Manager of Oddfellows Cafe and Bar, and soon to be addition of Little Oddfellow's, located in the new Elliott Bay Books.
