Timberline Newsletter Archives
Welcome Timberline Fans!
For those of you just joining us, Timberline was a newsletter that Ela Bannick wrote for 20+ years and was started in 1985!
She started writing this monthly newsletter so that the company could keep in touch with customers in far away places. Not everyone lived in the Washington State, much less the Methow Valley and Ela wanted to reach out to everyone she could, no matter where they were.
She wrote the newsletter up until 2007 when discontinued our print edition and went online with a WordPress blog. We have archived the print editions in PDF form in our electronic archives.
