Do you know this man?

D.B. Cooper. Ever heard of him? Well, I hadn't until today, but apparently he's quite famous, or rather infamous.

His crime? Well, the only unsolved instance of a skyjacker in US history. And guess where he disappeared. That's right - Western Washington!

November 24, 1971. He actually makes reference to Tacoma as he passed over the area in the plane shortly before he jumped out.

As it turns out, he may not have traveled that far. Just drive East about 30 minutes from Tacoma and you will find yourself in the quaint town of Bonney Lake. This is where Kenny Christiansen (aka - D.B. Cooper) decided to make his home some 30 years ago, shortly after pulling off one of the most well known crimes in American history. This also happens to be the location for our new Church: Church on the Hill.
