"The Woodinville Weekly" just released their first real online paper! Check it out! I'm a subscriber. Before it was more of a newsletter with their Mayor writing the major pieces on growth and development. Now it's in color and fully formed:
The Publisher is "EASTSIDE MEDIA CORPORATION," out of Lakewood, WA. The subscription is $45/year and supported by local businesses. 2 reporters (count me in) I called them and left an enthusiastic message of our genuine interest. Wouldn't it be great if we could express ourselves with Letters To The Editor?!
We all know Redmond sorely needs a community newspaper, weekly or newsletter. We have so many good things here to be grateful of and talk about. Redmond is so much more than cranes and orange barrels. News of school and sports activities, cultural events, neighborhood food drives and fundraisers, city events and outreach, new projects, our community centers, parks and small businesses, non profits, are all just a few things we can be proud of and share. Affordable housing, light rail, elections and parking needs to be addressed, too.
The One Redmond CEO Hudson, Mayor Birney and Council member Carson have been notified of this breakthrough. Please encourage them to act on it.

Redmond had an award-winning newspaper for at least 50 years.
ReplyDeleteIt was closed down in the 90’s, but had done a great job covering City Hall and a fantastic job covering kids from high school all the way to grade school.
But it wasn’t making money then, it was losing it.
