Sunset Magazine has been one of my favorites since 1994 when I “discovered” them. Sunset has been around a long time, but their ideas are always fresh. What I enjoy most is the personalized feel to the magazine – Sunset has five areas it covers:
- Northwest ~ Includes Alaska, British Columbia,Idaho, Oregon, and Washington.
- Northern California ~ Extends from the Oregon border south to the counties of Fresno, Kings, Mono, Monterey, and Tulare. Includes all of Nevada except Clark County.
- Southern California ~ Includes the counties of Imperial, Inyo, Kern, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and
Ventura, as well as Hawaii. - Rocky Mountain and Southwest ~ Mountain includes Colorado, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming. This edition is also distributed to U.S. subscribers residing outside the West, as well as subscribers in the balance of Canada and other international locales.
Southwest includes Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Clark County, Nevada.
So I get the Northwest edition, and it feels like it was printed just for me! It has places to visit nearby, tells me how to garden right here, and highlights places to eat and shop right in my area.
This morning I received Sunset’s e-mail newsletter. By clicking through the newsletter, I discovered Sunset has a blog!!! How cool is that?! You can see what they are working on, get ideas for projects and read about what other readers are doing. 🙂 So go check it out – Home by Sunset (I added it as a link on the sidebar, too).
