Chelan County Living

A forerunner in conservation handbooks, now in its third edition.

First published in 2008 by the Chelan-Douglas Land Trust, Design for theWest led a major visual and content overhaul in a 2017 second edition for Chelan County Natural Resources, and subsequent refinement and expansion in a 2023 third edition for Visit Chelan County.

We guided Chelan County Living in effectively utilizing a bold, specific content strategy that zeroed in on priority areas for local landscape integrity and stewardship values, including recreation, wildfire, agriculture and salmon.

"Jessica has a crystal-clear grasp of intent, and the ability to create work that is intriguing and captivating enough to attract a broad swath of a diverse community. She delivers on time and on budget, and thinks of things I did not. It's my plan to work with Design for the West every chance I can."

— Jerri Barkley, Executive Director of Visit Chelan County
