He recently purchased a small farm in Sedro Woolley with plans to turn it into a sheep cheese creamery in the future. Shawn and Meghan love to hike, camp, bike with their black German Shepherd, Gracie.

Sarah Goodin

Bookkeeper

Sarah doesn’t have much construction experience - unless you count DIY work. But luckily as bookkeeper, she’s not required to have a lot of experience with framing. She does have a lot of experience with bookkeeping though and loves to be the numbers detective for Landmark. Bellingham is her hometown – a WWU grad, Sarah has lived here long enough to remember the 3B. When she’s not working, Sarah’s out in nature with her pets or destroying friends and family at Scrabble.
