A Message from Carolyn:
                    In 1988 when I founded the fledgling Puget Sound Cyclist magazine in
                    Seattle, I didn’t know that our company would still be thriving 33 years later.
                    Decades of twists and turns, name changes and a tremendous growth in
                    outdoor recreation have transcended that original Northwest bicycling
                    magazine into the country’s longest running, locally owned, regional
                    outdoors brand: OutdoorsNW. A big shout-out to all our partners over
                    the years!
