Welcome to
Pacific Northwest
& Beyond
A journal of Puget Sound and PNW places, nature, photography and things to do and see…
and sometimes beyond!
About us
More About PNW&Beyond
Pacific Northwest is a journal of PNW places, things to do, outdoors, photography — and pretty much anything that fits under the category of “PNW, travel, the outdoors, photography,,,”
So you won’t find posts about, for instance, crafts here (unless it’s a post about a local craftsperson or a project that is very locale-specific). But you will find a shop with some handmade items, blog posts, “PNWWiki” mini-entries, a small events calendar, and some photography galleries.
I post when I can and when I feel motivated and welcome (some) community contributions.
Thanks for visiting.

Outdoor Shakespeare (and other outdoor performances) Near Puget Sound

Exploring the North Coast 500 Part One: Planning Your Adventure
This is the first in what will be a long series of posts about Scotland’s North Coast 500 — an epic and memorable road trip (though I’d better write about it before I forget about it!) This post consists of an introduction and some tips and resources for trip planning. Future posts will comprise stops along the route and some other places in Scotland. Read More
