First published in November 1990 with the Winter 1991 edition, Sandpoint Magazine chronicles our town with high-quality stories, photography and artwork in a beautiful, color glossy magazine delivered twice a year, in November and May.

As we wrote in that first edition, our mission is to produce a recreation and lifestyle magazine for both residents and visitors. To quote that first issue:
If it seems we’re stretching it to reach locals and tourists, let’s put it another way. This magazine is written for people who like it here. If we’re successful in what we do, Sandpoint Magazine will help you get more out of being in Sandpoint. We’re about a place, one which we think is pretty special. People who share that opinion will, we hope, like our magazine.
