Raeanna and Brandon’s story began at the Kitsap County Road Shop — not exactly the place you’d expect sparks to fly, but fate had other plans. Raeanna was just starting as a summer help, and Brandon was a full-time worker. Their very first conversation? It happened over the bed of a truck at the gas pumps, when Brandon strolled over and asked, “Why did you choose roads?” Raeanna, not one to sugarcoat things, replied, “I didn’t, they assigned me here. Wasn’t my first pick.” (Honesty really is the best policy.) That simple exchange kicked off a friendship that grew with every summer Raeanna returned. Between conversations at stop paddles and roadside chats all over Kitsap County, the two of them became inseparable. Three summers, countless laughs, and one very unexpected love story later, they realized the road shop wasn’t just a job site. It was the place where their forever started. They may not have seen it coming, but now they wouldn’t have it any other way. North Roads, you did something right.
