The Northwest Federation of Stamp Clubs has some 35 member clubs and philatelic organizations in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington as well as British Columbia and Alberta in Canada. With the exception of a short period of inactivity during WW II, the organization has served as a common cause meeting ground for organized philatelic interests within these states and provinces. It hosts an annual World Series of Philately (WSP) show. Information on the 2013 PIPEX (Pacific International Philatelic Exposition) link will be listed when ready.

The Federation is the only organization of its type with cross border membership and WSP exhibition sponsorship. It continues its member organization communications with THE FEDERATED PHILATELIST newsletter as edited by Larry Mann and this web site. The annual Federation meeting takes place at the club hosted site of the annual Pacific International Philatelic Exhibition (PIPEX), the philatelic exhibition of the Federation and an APS World Series of Philately (WSP) show.

On this site we have listed information of interest to collectors in the Pacific Northwest. On this page and the ones that follow, you will find links to a wide variety of information, including:

• A calendar of events listing all stamp shows and bourses in the Pacific Northwest, updated for 2010
• A listing of all stamp clubs in the Pacific Northwest
• A list of all Northwest Federation awards presented since 1960.
• The twentythird annual Philatelic Symposium at Moses Lake Washington has been scheduled for April 6th 2013 at the Best Western Hotel in Moses Lake. More information later in the year.

• Links to other major stamp shows outside of the Pacific Northwest (coming soon we hope)

• We have started putting together a page for stamp dealers in the Pacific Northwest. The page is pretty bare right now, but as dealers give me their input, it should fill up. Have a Look !!
