Tidepools Magazine has been published annually at Peninsula College since 1964 and features original art, photography, poetry, prose and music created by residents of the North Olympic Peninsula in Clallam and Jefferson counties.
Tidepools is created in collaboration by Peninsula College students who edit, design, lay out and publish the magazine while learning about publishing, marketing, community relations and gaining an appreciation of literature and the arts.
The magazine is made possible with support from the Associated Student Council, the Peninsula Daily News and The Buccaneer.
Look for Tidepools magazine in local shops across the Olympic Peninsula.
