Sondland was born to a Jewish family in Mercer Island, Washington, the son of Frieda (Piepsch) and Gunther Sondland. His mother fled Germany before the Second World War to Uruguay, where after the war she reunited with his father, who had served in the French Foreign Legion. In 1953, the Sondlands relocated to Seattle where they opened a dry-cleaning business. Sondland has a sister 18 years his senior. He attended the University of Washington but dropped out and became a commercial real estate salesman.

Wow, I see in my minds eye some milquetoast complaining and insulting the "dry-cleaning clerk" who suddenly pulls out a worn French bayonet and starts cleaning it while calmly listening.
