About Out NW

Out NW is launching as the premier LGBTQ+ media outlet for the Pacific Northwest. Between our free magazine with distribution reaching from the Bay Area in Northern California to Anchorage, Alaska, the Pacific Ocean to the Rocky Mountains and the online resource focused on this region but utilized by people from around the world visiting here, Out NW is becoming the leading source for news, events, entertainment, and community.

Initial distribution of 5,000 copies per month of the free 68-page magazine will launch this summer in time for Gay Pride. It will be the July issue focused on the trailblazers that have helped pave the way for our community today.

What makes Out NW different is the approach we are taking to rebuild the community. It is a firm belief that community is not just our direct neighbors, but those we relate to throughout the region. It is important to share our local stories and events on a regional platform so that we can help support each other, from city to city and state to state.

After the launch of Out NW, our City magazines will start to be included. Starting with Out Seattle and Out Portland. These city versions will be added to the regional printed magazine as a supplement, and will be printed for the city is represents. This adds more copies for distribution in the region. Each city version will include the regional 68-page, plus the 24-page city magazine. Within 5 years, Out NW’s strategic plan is to have 30 City versions, the regional, and a LatinX version in Spanish. From 5,000 copies per month, to over 65,000 copies per month within 5 years is the vision for Out NW. All, having a home on our website that links topics, people, and communities together in a simple-to-navigate system that is built to be interactive for users.

Our team of over 40 writers, 6 media creators and many others are ready and excited to bring the best quality in news, entertainment and media content to you and to partner with our advertisers in creating authentic value-added inclusion in how our community interacts with businesses. From advertising, featured stories, sponsored content, and even events presented by your company to our community.
