When and why did you move to Hermiston? I moved to Hermiston last year when I finished school and softball in Portland. My boyfriend is from here and when we were doing long distance I visited here a few times and liked the area. Iâm originally from Pendleton so itâs not a huge change by any means. Where is your favorite place to eat in Hermiston? My favorite place to eat in Hermiston is probably Nookieâs or Ixtapa. What do you like to do in your spare time? I like to do some sort of physical activity just to stay active, like the gym or hiking or going on a walk with my pup Avery. But she doesnât usually make it too far because sheâs a chubby little thing.
