About Us

Our Mission

We promote outdoor recreation and bring people together to enjoy, preserve and improve the places where we play.

Our Work

PARKSCRIPTIONS
Partnering with doctors and other health care providers to prescribe time outdoors. Parkscriptions connects patients with positive outdoor experiences for healthier lifestyles and improved mental and physical health.

RECREATION ECONOMY
Bringing the outdoor recreation community together to learn from each other, raise the profile of this key sector of our economy and advocate for the value of outdoor recreation and our public lands at the state and local level.

  • Outdoor Recreation Summit
  • Recreation Northwest EXPO
  • Basecamp

FAIRHAVEN PARK
Stewarding the Fairhaven Park trail system by rerouting trails to improve access, removing invasive species, and restoring wetland habitat through native plantings.

Our Origins 


Founded on January 15, 2013. Our foundation was built on the Bellingham Traverse multi-sport race and then expanding into the Northwest Traverse Series in Olympia, Winthrop and North Bend. We have evolved to provide direct recreation programming and advocacy on local and statewide levels.
