Natalie was first introduced to lacrosse when her son Grant (now a Junior) was a 2nd grade “bobble head” playing for Props Lacrosse.  Being a Seattle native, there wasn’t much lacrosse over here on the West Coast when she was growing up.  She has enjoyed the experience, the sport and community so much that she was inspired to join the BHS Lax board.  Her main goal is to help create a fun, supportive, positive community experience for the players and their families. In her free time she collects vintage glassware, enjoys a locally brewed IPA, long walks at Discovery with her husband and family dog and cooking for family, friends and really anybody!

The team, coaches and families are a great community to be a part of! Away from high school sports Wendy spends her free time running, gardening, paddle boarding and being with family and friends.

 

Sara first became enamored with LAX when her son Henry (class of 2026) started playing with Magnolia United/Props Lacrosse as a third grader. Watching the team get faster, hit harder and score (and block) that much better has been a thrilling journey. She is honored to be a part of the Board, and strives to bring her communication and marketing skills to serve the BHS LAX community. In her free time, Sara is a Marketing and Events Director and enjoys watching her kids play all of the sports. She loves live theatre, concerts and traveling.
