Adventures NW Magazine
With trail shoes, paddles, and bikes, we Pacific Northwesterners take to the outdoors with multisport zeal. Four years ago, Adventures NW magazine captured that spirit, wrapping thoughtful words and gorgeous photos around our athletic, nature-loving souls. Publishers Paul Haskins and Alaine Borgias know how to tell excellent adventure stories. Just as thoughtfully, they also know how to give back to their community, and we thank them for their support.

Back In Motion
Dr. Cherrelyn Seegers and her medical team provide the very best chiropractic care and massage therapy. Dr. Seegers is a runner and a former competitive triathlete, and so she understands the psyches and bodies of multi-sport Whatcom athletes. She is a favorite speaker at Fairhaven Runenrs & Walkers’ fitness forums. Her practice is located in downtown Bellingham on Magnolia Street, and her post-race treatment tent — with complimentary services provided by skilled, caring practitioners — is always a welcome sight at local races.
