Our Methownet.com website has maintained a significant online presence since 1996 and we are committed to keeping it a vibrant resource for locals and visitors alike. For three years, we were also proud to bring you the Methow Grist, giving voice to many valley stories. We've loved this project.

Looking forward, we decided to stop posting to Methow Grist after June 20, 2014. The body of work so many talented people helped create is in this archive, a great snapshot of the valley that we hope will continue to entertain and inform readers.

We also want to sincerely thank our many Grist contributors and supporters. You've taught us more about this place and our roots go deeper for it.

As for Methownet.com, we will continue to offer the popular online community hub we’ve created with our bulletin board, events calendar, business directory, weather & cams, and lodging and real estate pages. And of course, we're always busy upgrading and maintaining the best and most personal Internet service available in the valley. -Maria Converse and Jeff Hardy
