257 Light brings warmth, gatherings become traditions, and every evening becomes an invitation to linger a little longer. That belief sits quietly at the center of Northwest Outdoor Lighting's work, drawing on more than 20 years of industry expertise and guiding the firm since its Pacific Northwest launch in 2012. Recognized as Washington's leading landscape lighting experts and a nationally awarded design firm, Northwest Outdoor Lighting specializes in custom lighting for residential and commercial properties. Their work is defined by restraint, precision, and a deep respect for the region's landscapes, using light to reveal architecture, natural forms, and movement without overpowering the setting. Each design balances visual impact with practical considerations of safety and security, ensuring properties remain both beautiful and functional after dark. ILILNORTHWEST OUTDOOR LIGHTING BELLEVUE, WA As a family-run business, Northwest is built on the values that managing partners and designers Craig and Mary Peterson hold dear: family, friendships, and the moments that bring people together. Whether illuminating a dinner soirée on the patio or a quiet evening gathered around the fire pit, their lighting is designed to support how people live and connect within their outdoor spaces. Detail-oriented and deeply collaborative, Northwest Outdoor Lighting paints with light and approaches every project with care and intention, creating refined, enduring lighting solutions that transform outdoor spaces into welcoming extensions of the home, all shaped by Washington's natural beauty and the lives lived within it. ABOVE: A side path nestled within a villa in Woodinville, Washington, is bordered by boxwoods and defined by a checkerboard of grass and pavers. Gently illuminated using downcast path lights, spotlights, and a group of central uplights for the fountain, this design balances visibility and shadow for a timeless, European-inspired ambience. RIGHT: First impressions are everything at this estate, where the grand entrance translates just as beautifully when the sun goes down. Carefully curated lighting across the brickwork and sculptural center fountain ensures a warm, inviting mood leading up to the front door. The trees become sculptures in their own right, subtly illuminated to enhance the scene without disrupting the night sky. Photography by Laurie Ascanio Northwest Outdoor Lighting
