North County Outlook is owned by four Snohomish County women: Sue Stevenson, Beckye Randall, Anita Wuellner and Julie Brandt. Two of the partners, Stevenson and Randall, have extensive experience in the newspaper business in sales and editorial capacities. Brandt offers expertise in customer service, sales and marketing, while Wuellner is a business professional with a financial background.
