Northwest People

Quirky. Edgy. Non conformist. The people of the Northwest are proudly different. The rugged landscape and the variable weather require a certain stubborn persistence, an ability to put wonder and possibilities ahead of the comfort of the known. The payoff is a bounty of natural beauty and native foodstuffs that make living good.
