About

One of the most striking things about the Pacific Northwest is how diverse the landscapes are here. Whether it’s the quiet coastal towns of Oregon or wheat farms in the interior of British Columbia, from soggy Cascade rain forests to the humming tech metropolis of Seattle, the Pacific Northwest is a land of contrasts. It’s also a place of striking cultural diversity. Beginning with First Nations and Indian tribes who’ve lived here for millennia, immigrants have poured into the Cascadia region from all corners of the world. You’ll find a technicolor assortment of cultures, ethnicities, religions, opinions, and beliefs. Cascadia Magazine in a nonprofit publication dedicated to telling those diverse stories. We’re passionate about crossing borders between nations, cultures, ethnicities, and gender — as well as bridging the rural/urban divide. We seek out quality journalism, personal essays, arts coverage, environmental reporting, fiction, poetry, and photography you won’t find anywhere else. We can’t document all the stories of the 16 million people who live in the region that encompasses Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia — but we’ll try to showcase a eclectic mix of stories from the people who call Cascadia home. We’re also dedicated to providing a refuge from the 24-hour news cycle where the latest social media outrage is instantly posted and amplified. Cascadia Magazine is designed to be a space where thoughtful writing and commentary can take the time required to blossom. We try to publish writing that’s meaningful, pieces that feel essential to life in the Pacific Northwest.
