Discover Your Northwest

Discover Your Northwest You can find us at such wonderful places as the Hiram S. We even funded the world famous VolcanoCam at Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument and much more.

Discover Your Northwest promotes the discovery of Northwest public lands, enriches the experience of visitors, and builds community stewardship of these special places today and for generations to come. We help people have great experiences when visiting Northwest public lands and aspire to cultivate a spirit of community stewardship of these special places for generations to come. We do this by o

perating on-site educational bookstores that provide visitors with high-quality books, toys, DVDs, and other items that help them appreciate the natural and historical significance of the area (see our online store for examples of what we sell). Chittenden Locks in Seattle to the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest up in the North Cascades as well as even more locations. We then use our sales proceeds to fund additional on-site events and programs, including state-of-the-art displays, free publications, speaker series, and habitat cleanup and restoration programs for volunteers of all social backgrounds.

We’re super excited to share that there is a great new way to get outside and explore Snoqualmie Pass this summer! 🥾🌲Joi...
