Editor’s letter

THERE IS SOMETHING MAGICAL ABOUT AMERICA’S PACIFIC NORTHWEST. Its landscape is an awe-inspiring palette of greens and blues—a land where the beauty of trees is only rivaled by that of the water. Perhaps it is this boundless natural appeal that inspires the region’s uniquely artistic approach to life as well as its deep appreciation for Midcentury Modern design.

When planning how to celebrate Atomic Ranch’s 60th issue, going back to its roots in the Pacific Northwest was a given. Back in 2004, Atomic Ranch began with a desire to showcase the best of midcentury design and the people keeping it alive. Sixty issues later, we have grown exponentially but that mission has endured.
