Watts and his wife, Lori, are the namesake of the pediatric center in Providence Health & Services' facility in Richland, Washington.
Watts was born to an auto mechanic[2] in Ketchikan, Alaska,[3] and grew up "humbly" in Tri-Cities, Washington, where he spent his summers as a farmworker.
[6] In 2001, Doug sold his stake to Don out of growing concerns for the risks and significant debt the company held.
[12][13][14] The vineyard is jointly owned by Watts and Hogue Ranch,[15] an award-winning winery,[16] and was developed by Wade Wolfe,[15][14] who helped shape Washington's wine industry.
The winery's 41,000 square foot property also features a restaurant, Hoist House, and an outdoor concert venue that seats 2,500.
