We are one of 24 regions in Sweet Adelines International, and our particular region covers 28 choruses and over 45 quartets located throughout Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington. You can see where we all are by clicking to see our regional map!

March 12, 2020: A message for North by Northwest Region 13 Sweet Adelines and others planning to attend our 2020 Convention:

As most of you know, because of the COVID-19 concerns, this morning Sweet Adelines International cancelled all regional competitions for the year (if you didn't know, the original email is below). I'm sure you're probably feeling all sorts of things right now, as are the Convention Team and the Regional Management Team. One important thing to understand is that a contingent competition plan is underway! SAI says: "To   ensure that our members still have the opportunity to compete this year, a contingency competition plan has been developed for 2020. The plan allows for placements at the regional level and provides a path to qualify for the international competition through the submission of video performances. The details of the contingency plan are being finalized and will be released very soon."
