Relocation to Rural Washington
Actress Diane Farr announced that she has moved from Los Angeles to a house on the water in rural Washington. She said the purchase was affordable compared with years of living in California and that the setting offers stand-up paddling, e-biking, and “gorgeous Pacific Northwest weather.” Farr plans to split her time between Washington, Vancouver, Canada, and Spain.
Career Background and Motivation
Farr, who portrays Cal Fire Division Chief Sharon Leone on the series *Fire Country*, began her screen career in the 1990s with a breakout role in *Roswell* (1999) and later starred in *Numb3rs* and *Splitting Up Together*. After three decades in Los Angeles, she described her move as the start of a “third act” focused on personal joy. She explained that once her three children—son Beckett, 18, and twins Coco and Sawyer, 17—went off to college, she felt “permission” to leave the city that had been her home since age 26.
Official Statements & Responses
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Farr said the transition allows her to “live the most” by spending six months each year in Spain and six months in Vancouver, a schedule she calls her “joie de vie.” Farr also hinted at storyline developments for her character in *Fire Country* Season 5, describing Sharon Leone as “off the rails” and making “less than her best choices” this season.
