Meredith Browand, Calendar and Web Editor

Originally from the Midwest, Meredith relocated to Washington in 2006 when her husband Jeff accepted a position with Alaska Airlines. It was only a matter of weeks before snowcapped mountains, the glistening Sound and towering evergreens quickly replaced cornfields, fireflies and flatland for miles as her definition of “home.”

Upon arriving in Washington, Meredith taught for three years on the Key Peninsula at both Evergreen and Minter Creek elementary schools.

Since she stopped teaching to stay home with her children, Meredith has become an engaged activist for a variety of social justice causes, with most of her work being dedicated to gun violence prevention and education issues. Working to pass universal background checks in Washington in 2014 remains one of the proudest efforts of her life.

Meredith is a longtime columnist for the Key Peninsula News, writing “Key Issues” several times a year. She serves in the staff positions of calendar editor and web editor and also manages the paper's social media. 

Meredith lives in Purdy with her husband Jeff, sons John and Pete, and daughter Molly. They also live with two hilarious and ridiculous pugs, Hank and Pearl. Meredith is an avid baseball fan, loves to travel, and always enjoys a good joke.
