We met in the modern-day town square—the digital kind. One casual swipe turned into a conversation, which turned into a date with views for days, plus a thrilling side quest: two phones dramatically dying on a mountaintop! Somewhere along the way, Peter (holding it down in Salem) and Layah (repping Corvallis) caught the “oops-we’re-in-love” bug. So they packed up their soul pups, Bella and Ranger (the furry emotional-support CEOs), and decided to plant some roots in Monmouth. Turns out, Monmouth had exactly what they were looking for: peaceful, close-knit, and the kind of familiar vibes that make you say, “Ah yes, this is where we become regulars at the coffee stand.” And in 2022, they welcomed their brilliant, funny, curious daughter Zendaya—aka “Zenny,” aka the tiny boss who now runs the whole operation.
