Parent Map's Profile

We know firsthand the joys and challenges of parenting.

ParentMap is really a couple dozen wild women -- your neighbors, your friends, working moms, artists, activists, teachers and closet athletes. We know well the daily struggle of balancing the crazy joy of parenting with our careers, spouses, chores... life! We're here to help by connecting you to the info and resources you need to get it done, from Edmonds to Seattle, to the Eastside, Tacoma, Bremerton and Olympia.

We know that raising kids is the most challenging, interesting, weird and rewarding journey we’ll ever take. That’s why, in addition to ParentMap, we publish BabyMap, a twice-yearly guide to the best for new parents, and our essential annual resource guides: Family Directory, LearningMap, and SummerMap. Hey - we don't mind telling you: We win lots of awards! We're honored and somewhat amazed that we are nationally recognized for doing the very thing we love the best.

We sponsor the Pathways lecture series each spring, bringing you experts that inspire and educate, including a special panel event on mastering the mommy juggle: "Opting in/opting out." We also host several Preschool Preview Nights each year, in neighborhoods throughout the region. Our CampFair hooks hundreds of local parents up with great summertime options for learning and fun.

Are we giving you what you need? We'd love to hear from you at editor@parentmap.com.
