Carolyn Price 
My history with ONW:
I am the founder, owner, publisher and editor of Price Media, Inc., the parent company of Outdoors NW. I started the company in 1988. That makes me about 6 years old when I started.
My role at ONW:
Plan editorial for our print publications, website and E-newsletter, sell advertising and plan out promotional programs. Mostly I love to work with our customers and future customers!
My passions outside of ONW:
I am a Girl Scout Brownie co-leader! I enjoy working with young girls to teach them about the outdoors as well as teaching them empowering ways to grow into strong women. I also love to hike, camp, swim, do triathlons and bounce on the trampoline in my backyard. In the summer, I usually grow beans, snap peas, tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce and raspberries in my backyard.
What I love about the Northwest:
Being from Seattle, I really didn’t realize what a special place it was until I became an adult. I guess my favorite things are that outdoor pursuits are the norm rather than the opposite. I love being able to access hiking and shorelines in one day. It’s just overall a relaxing place to live, except for the traffic.
Favorite Northwest spot:
OK, I’ll tell the world a secret: There is a little-known pond 3 blocks from my house known as the Meadowbrook Pond. It has beaver, ducks, geese, winter birds, and a blue heron which occasionally even flies over our house!
Favorite cuisine:
Mexican! Especially chips and good verde salsa. It’s a main food group, isn’t it?

Green – everywhere is green, Blue – everywhere is blue (of course on days it’s not gray.)

No true favorite, it’s all about finding great new spots to call ‘my new favorite’.

Mexican, Japanese, BBQ
Chuck Schultz 
My history with ONW:
My first issue was Jan/Feb 2007 so going on four years.
My role with ONW:
As Art Director, Graphic Designer and Production Artist, I’m responsible for all editorial design and layout for all Price Media publications. I also design many of the advertisements. I update the website and design many of the banner ads there. I produce the E-newsletter twice a month. And I design and update marketing materials as well as many other “in-house” projects.
My passions outside of ONW:
I’m a skier in the winter and a hiker in the summer. And I do a lot of house and yard maintenance.
What I love about the Northwest:
From Seattle, within a few hours in any direction I can be in the arid desert of eastern Washington or the Olympic Peninsula on Hood Canal or the Pacific Ocean, in another state or even another country. Good thing I can speak Canadian, eh?
Favorite Northwest spot:
It’s a tossup between Lake Chelan and Shi Shi Beach.
Favorite cuisine:
I like spicy food. So Thai, Chinese, Mexican, Indian, etc. – as long as it’s hot. And I love garlic so almost all Greek food is high on my list.
Yitka Winn 
My history with ONW:
I started writing for the magazine when I moved to Seattle in the summer of 2009.
My role with ONW:
It started off with some freelance stories here and there. These days, I get to come into the office and write, edit, work on the e-newsletter, and coordinate the magazine’s social media projects.
My passions outside of ONW:
I have a degree in creative writing from Oberlin College and I love to read, write, run long distances, ride my bike, hike, snowboard, do yoga, travel whenever possible, and am currently taking some evening classes in web design. I blog about my life in the Northwest at http://proximitytowater.blogspot.com.
What I love about the Northwest:
Everything! I should probably be working for the Seattle Tourism Bureau. I love all the greenery, the mountains, the ocean, the alpine lakes, the trail systems, the city/state/national parks, the mild climate, the walkability of the cities, the coffeeshops, the small-town vibe of individual neighborhoods, even the rain (sometimes). The fact that you can go from farmland to city to snow-capped peak in the course of a short drive still astounds me.
Favorite Northwest spot:
Any of the islands in Puget Sound. My love for running morphed into a love for trail running when I moved out to the Northwest, and that love has taken me to Orcas, Vashon, and Whidbey…all which blew me away with their beauty.
Favorite cuisine:
Indian food (love Annapurna Café on Broadway in Seattle) and Thai Food (Jamjuree on 15th Ave E). And ice cream. I really, really love ice cream.

Only a few months
My role with ONW:
Outreach Specialist
My passions outside of ONW:
All things running, traveling, eating and outdoors
What I love about the Northwest:
The variety of things we have at our disposal. We have every sort of climate and landscape from desert to beach to mountains to rivers to rainforest. It really can’t be beat.
My favorite Northwest spot:
I love running the trails at Discovery Park, it makes me feel like I am in the middle of nature right in my own backyard.
My favorite food:
Baked goods are my weakness but I don’t often come across a food I do not love!
