Beth Mitchum: Author, Singer/Songwriter, Poet



Beth Mitchum has lived in the Seattle area since 1993. When she moved there, she finally was able to say, for the first time in her life, that she felt at home. Although she has lived in multiple places all around the Seattle area, her favorite nesting spot is on the Kitsap Peninsula, where she has been able to enjoy waterfront living and bald eagle watching for most of the time she’s been there. Before moving to Seattle, she spent eight years in the Asheville, North Carolina area, a place of great beauty and folk art culture. The thing she misses most about living there is the great community of lesbians. She could walk into Malaprops (a most excellent bookstore) in downtown Asheville and be guaranteed to run into several lesbians, many of whom she’d already know. Before moving to North Carolina in 1985, she lived in Lakeland, Florida, where she attended college, landed her first great job, and found the first of many really cool living spaces. Beth grew up in Winter Park, Florida, a uniquely European style city in the heart of Central Florida.
