In the fast-moving world of digital marketing, trends come and go. But a well-designed website—one that’s intuitive, visually compelling, and authentically reflects your brand—can stand the test of time. At Pacific Northwest Marketing (formerly Skagit Marketing), we’ve always believed that simplicity and strong visuals make websites functional and enduring. One of our favorite examples? The […]
At first glance, White Salmon might look like just another quiet mountain town tucked above the Columbia River Gorge. But anyone who’s spent a day here knows—it’s anything but sleepy. With a world-class bakery, celebrated restaurants, a craft brewery, boutique shops, and some of the best wine tasting in Washington, this town punches well above […]
Each May, the hills around White Salmon explode with color—an awe-inspiring display of wildflowers blanketing the Gorge in a show of nature’s artistry. But just a few years ago, that springtime beauty wasn’t being celebrated the way it deserved. That changed when Julie Burgmeier, founder of Pacific Northwest Marketing, brought her passion for ecotourism, local […]
At Pacific Northwest Marketing, we understand that first impressions matter. That’s why we were thrilled to partner with the charming town of Bingen, Washington, and the Mt Adams Chamber of Commerce to rebrand and build a modern website that truly captures the spirit of this vibrant community. Whether you’re a local resident, a visitor, or a business owner in Bingen, the new website is designed to showcase everything this scenic gem of the Pacific Northwest has to offer.
Tucked between the dramatic cliffs of the Columbia River and the volcanic soils of south-central Washington, a group of pioneering women is changing the face of American winemaking. These innovative and resilient winemakers are not only crafting exceptional wines—they’re reshaping the identity of the Columbia Gorge AVA. And behind the scenes of this movement is […]
When Julie Burgmeier, founder of Skagit Marketing (now rebranding as Pacific Northwest Marketing), opened a new office in White Salmon, Washington, in the Columbia River Gorge, she immediately saw the potential—and the problem. Despite being surrounded by natural beauty, outdoor recreation, and a thriving small-town culture, White Salmon didn’t have a central hub to tell […]
At Skagit Marketing—now proudly rebranded as Pacific Northwest Marketing—we’ve always believed in the power of storytelling to inspire connection. So when Skagit Tourism approached us to create a video series that would not only promote tourism but also reflect the soul of Skagit Valley, we knew this had to be something special. This wasn’t just […]
When Cairnspring Mills set out to spark a global movement for regenerative food systems, they weren’t just building a new kind of flour mill—they were building a new kind of food economy. With a mission rooted in clean, traceable food, economic revitalization of rural communities, and long-term farmland stewardship, Cairnspring Mills needed a social media […]
At the intersection of craft beer, agriculture, and community pride lies one of the most successful tourism initiatives in the Pacific Northwest: the Skagit Farm to Pint Ale Trail. Created by Skagit Marketing, currently rebranding to Pacific Northwest Marketing, this program isn’t just a fun way to explore Skagit Valley’s thriving brewery scene—it’s a strategic effort to boost local tourism, support small businesses, and celebrate Skagit’s rich agricultural roots.
When Julie Burgmeier founded the White Salmon Wine Walks, she wasn’t just organizing a wine tasting event—she was planting the seeds of community revitalization. What began as a creative way to celebrate the exceptional wineries of the Columbia Gorge AVA has grown into one of White Salmon’s most beloved traditions, raising over $50,000 for downtown […]
Every spring, fields across Skagit Valley burst into color, drawing thousands of visitors eager to experience the iconic Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. But long before the tulips steal the show, the Skagit Valley is awash in a golden glow of blooming daffodils—a quiet, stunning preview of the season to come. Thanks to Julie Burgmeier, founder […]
At Skagit Marketing (now rebranding as Pacific Northwest Marketing), we’re driven by more than just pixels and posts—we’re passionate about helping mission-driven organizations connect with their communities in meaningful, measurable ways. So when Skagit Fisheries Enhancement Group reached out for help modernizing their digital presence and growing community engagement, we knew we had a great […]
In the heart of Washington’s agricultural country, where fields stretch toward the horizon and farmstands dot the backroads, Julie Burgmeier saw an opportunity to do more than just celebrate local food—she saw a chance to build a bridge between tourism, community, and sustainability. Through Skagit Marketing, now rebranding as Pacific Northwest Marketing, Julie created the […]
I update the Skagit Farm to Pint Ale Trail passports annually. Each brewery has a chance to tweak its listing, and Ale Trail participants get another chance to win a prize. I love supporting the local Skagit Valley breweries and Skagit Tourism with this marketing program.
At Skagit Marketing—soon to be Pacific Northwest Marketing—we’ve had the privilege of working with many purpose-driven organizations. Few have moved us quite like St. Vincent de Paul (SVDP) in The Dalles, Oregon, whose mission is simple but powerful: to serve with only love. SVDP didn’t have a website. Despite doing essential, life-changing work daily, their […]
