About Northwest Navy News
Welcome!
This site serves the 140,000 active-duty Navy and Coast Guard members, reservists, base employees and retirees in the Puget Sound area with information about housing, schools, military discounts, and a social network for military spouses and children coping with deployment and relocation.
It was founded in March 2009 by Elaine Helm Norton, an Everett-based journalist. It is intended to be a place where Navy and Coast Guard families come together to share experiences and find support. To join the conversation, sign up for an account.
This is an independent site, not affiliated with or endorsed by the Department of Defense. The staff will abide by the Society of Professional Journalists code of ethics.
