The Live Well and Disc golf tile photos are our own.

Changes we made

We resized each photo, cropped it to fit the page layout, converted it to WebP and JPEG, and removed the photo metadata. On wide screens, a light overlay sits over part of the homepage photo so the text stays easy to read.

Licence

The stock photos in the tables above are used under the Pexels License, which allows free use, including commercial use, and allows changes. Credit isn't required, but we give it anyway. The photographers and Pexels don't endorse NorthWest Wa. Our own photos aren't stock photos, so no licence applies.
