    Thanks Chris! Good news is, Coast Mountain Culture Magazine will be distributed throughout the Pacific Northwest, from Portland to Prince George. It's not just for us Canucks either, but rather a publication for all who love the PNW. The first issue makes sure our American friends get their fill, with articles on Portland beer and bike culture, and an historical look at Mount Rainier.
