Patricia LoCascio

Having grown up in New Orleans and moving to Kansas City at 18, then living there for an additional 18 years, Patricia LoCascio assumed she was just a nomad. She felt like home would always be temporary and that she’d always be happiest “in transit.”

However, Portland, Oregon, taught Patricia a vital lesson that she was never a nomad; she’d just never been home.

This region, this state, and especially this city mean a lot to Patricia. She is raising her children here and growing her food. Patricia has also met friends and family alike in this town’s neighbors. Portland is where she lives and works and is the city she loves.

Patricia is a deeply committed Realtor, a messy painter, an amateur woodworker, a decent knitter, a (very) lazy homeschooler, an intentional cook, an avid soil resuscitator, and a practicing (and stumbling) Buddhist.
