About Us

The Pacific Northwest’s No. 1 parenting media brand

Mom with kids in car with text overlay that reads 'Parenting is a trip.'

Fueling Puget Sound parents along their journey of raising great kids

Child-rearing, the ultimate “learn on the job” experience, is a journey like no other. From infancy to graduation and beyond, the path of parenthood is a continuous voyage of growth and discovery, each step bringing us closer to becoming the parents we aspire to be.

ParentMap’s mission is to provide families across the Greater Seattle region with a well-rounded source of parenting nourishment. Our content ranges from thought-provoking insights on various “ages and stages” and significant family developments (what we affectionately refer to as the broccoli) to inspiring ideas for family adventures and enriching experiences (the popcorn!).

ParentMap is a women-owned and women-operated business. We’re dedicated to being there for you, from the scariest moments and biggest questions to the deepest joys of parenting.
