FOR KEEPS
A TALE OF A CENTURY-OLD CABIN
When Mike Yates’ and Kathy Hughes’ first child Adam arrived in the mid ‘80s, they were living in Ballard. Adam, as new babies are wont to do, got the couple considering where their future might lay. Yates’ parents lived on Bainbridge, so he reached out to local realtor Bill Hunt. “We really hit it off,” he said. “Kathy was resistant, but she came over here and said, ‘Wow, this is kind of cool.’ Bainbridge looked like the right kind of place.” BY ALLI SCHUCHMAN | PHOTOS BY DAVID COHEN
