Brandi LaCombe, CPA, ACC
Owner/Accredited Cruise Counselor

Brandi has been the Owner of The Cruise Center since 2019.  She loves to travel, see and experience new destinations, and spend time with her family.  Brandi has two adult sons and spent 18 years as a Hockey mom.  After a 30 year career as a CPA, she made the jump to travel as she finds vacation clients to be much more pleasant to work with than tax clients.  

Brandi enjoys working closely with clients to help them create the most memorable vacation possible.  She enjoys the challenge of putting the entire package together (cruise, transfers, hotels, etc) so she knows her clients are being well taken care of.

Owning a small business is never easy and no one knows this better than Brandi.  7 months after purchasing this agency, the cruise industry was shut down for 17 months.  However, through COVID, a lost lease and a recession Brandi has kept the Cruise Center running strong and plans to keep the agency as one of the last in person travel agencies in the Seattle area for many years to come.
