Sandra Torres and her husband retired from the Postal Service in 2003. Later that year they moved to Waitsburg, Washington and fell in love with the town and local area. They opened an antique shop and lodging and retired again in 2019. Sandra published a book on the town of Waitsburg in 2013. Her curiosity about the region led her to research a small nearby town which no longer exists as a town. The result is her book on Huntsville, Washington- Pioneer Families of Huntsville, Washington.
