About Tom Gidlund
I was raised in Seattle Washington in the community of Ballard and
attended Ballard High School . After High School I spent three years in the Navy
and then went on to graduate from Seattle University with a Bachelor of Science
Degree in Electrical Engineering in 1965. The majority of my Engineering
career was spent in Aerospace doing product management and marketing in
commercial and military aviation. I spent a brief time in the Industrial and
Automotive market place in the late 70's. In the early 80's I joined Howard S.
Wright Construction as the Vice President of Marketing. This was a period of
rapid expansion in commercial construction in the Seattle Area, my objective was
to place Howard S. Wright as the contractor of choice with developers and
corporate institutions.
I am a avid Sailor, racing my own sailboat for 17 years in the Seattle area
and I had the opportunity to crew on two transpacific races to Hawaii, Victoria
to Maui in 1982 and TRANSPAC from LA to Honolulu in 1983. After a sabbatical in
Sweden, my wife and our 4 month old son sailed from Spain via Gibraltar, Tangiers,
Cannery Islands, the Caribbean and the Panama Canal to Newport Beach California
in our 38' sailboat "Mabruk.".
This life path has given me a real appreciation for nature and natural
surroundings and the simple joy that it can bring you. I can promise you Dedication,
Trust and Loyalty in our business relation in the
buying, selling and investing in Bellingham Real Estate. I created this
site to present Bellingham Washington and Tom Gidlund.
Hobbies: Sailing, Skiing, Tennis
