The idea for Retire Northwest grew out of personal experience and expanded into a much larger project.

We’re two journalists who have published magazines for baby boomers and retirees for several years. We both needed health services for our parents in the Pacific Northwest, and we began to investigate resources for seniors. As we shared our findings with interested friends and community members, the response was tremendous.

So we’ve gathered this helpful information for boomers and seniors in one place — Retire Northwest. We hope you find it easy to use, and we appreciate your suggestions and feedback.
