about Tideland
Tideland is a lifestyle magazine celebrating the vibrant communities and creative spirit that define the shoreline towns of the West Sound, a stunning region of natural beauty nestled between mountain wilderness and inland sea. We’re close to Seattle, yet a world apart—a place where star chefs and homesteaders feel equally at home.
Each quarterly print issue of Tideland features gorgeous photography and design with thoughtful content reflecting a deep connection to sea and land that unites this region. We introduce readers—both residents and visitors—to enticing getaways, unique homes, home-grown businesses, community leaders, as well as a dynamic food, wine and arts scene. While showcasing the area’s creativity and community, Tideland is also committed to delivering in-depth journalism on social and environmental issues like housing, equity, inclusion and conservation.

In addition to Tideland, Lindsay has art directed two publications with a circulation of over 300,000 and designed a national newsstand magazine. On her days off, Lindsay adores local grub, music, and being outdoors with friends and family—preferably around a campfire.
