After being based out of Bellingham for more than 25
years, this past spring we officially moved the Conservation
Northwest headquarters to Seattle. Going forward, please be
sure to send all mail to our Seattle office address. For more
information, or to schedule a visit, please contact Maureen
McGregor, our Office Manager and Development Associate,
at mmcgregor@conservationnw.org.
ough our Bellingham roots remain dear to us and we'll
still operate an office on Bay Street, our Seattle location offers
closer connections with elected leaders, media, and partner
organizations and agencies. It's also a prime base of opera
-
tions for staff heading out to work on conservation programs
in the I-90 Corridor, Central Cascades, Columbia Basin, and
beyond.
As you likely noticed, we also held off on publishing two
newsletter editions this year. During this time, our Commu
-
nications team has been hard at work on a new modern and
mobile-friendly website, and we're excited to debut it very
soon! With a marked increase in online communications in
recent years, we've also moved this publication to a biannual
publishing schedule. For more frequent updates on our work
to keep the Northwest wild, please subscribe to our monthly
Conservation Connection E-newsletter, or follow us on Face
