Accommodation and Tourism > Travel Services
Northwest Travel Service, LLC. began operations in December of 1984, and has been providing travel services consistently and conscientiously under the same management and ownership since that time.
Change has been a key element to the travel industry. The advent of online reservation options doomed many agencies that were slow to keep up with the times. While commercial travel planning was a staple for the company in the 80s and 90s, the change from vendor paid commissions to a service fee structure precipitated a change to special interest tour planning.
Beginning with the University of Washington Husky away-game to Lincoln Nebraska, the agency began to focus on the college football road game experience. While the main clients for these tours were Husky fans, road trips were also developed for Washington State, University of Oregon, and Nebraska Husker fans.
With the success of the Seattle Mariners in the 1995 season, baseball road trips were offered to local fans to over 22 Major League ballparks around the country. With the introduction of Safeco Field and the steady decline of the local nine, baseball tours came to an end.
In the late 90s I began to develop and promote garden tours with television and radio host Ciscoe Morris. Since the Spring of 1998, we’ve worked together on garden tours to Spain, Portugal, France, England, Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Ireland, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. Author and garden writer Marty Wingate and I have partnered on many garden tours as well to the United Kingdom and Western Europe.
