While growing up, Heart founders Ann and Nancy Wilson spent time living in San Diego. As Ann told Under the Radar magazine, "Yeah, in 1961, our father was stationed in Seattle as the Marine Corps recruiter for the Northwest area. So, he had Washington, Idaho, and parts of Northern Oregon, I think. So, they had like an 18-month stay there—they were getting close to being really tired of moving around. So, they bought a house over in Bellevue. It was the era when all the young families were moving out to suburbia and buying starter houses and putting down roots. So, they bought a house over in Lake Hills. Then when that station was up, he was sent back down to Camp Pendleton for another 18 months. But my parents kept a hold of the house. The Vietnam War was going on and he realized he didn’t want to have any part of it. He retired in 1965-66 and they came back to Seattle permanently."
