We're Coming Back

As promised, we’re coming back.

On December 16, the Seattle Press returns online to deliver to you news information around the Seattle neighborhood. Our goal is simple. We’d like to fill-in the gap in the exchange of news information, something you read little from other newspapers—your voice, in the neighborhoods.

We hope to deliver the latest from local officials and community organizations. We hope to provide you opinion pieces about issues affecting your neighborhood. More importantly, we hope to hear from you—regularly.

Besides news items and opinion pieces, we’re starting a new section to better hear from you: the Q&A section. It’s a section that gives you the opportunity to voice problems (or proposed solutions to problems) in your neighborhood. It’s a section that gives you the opportunity to read reactions from local officials and community organizations about your problems or proposed solutions.

If you’re experiencing a problem in your neighborhood (or have a proposed solution to an existing problem), tell us about it. Send us an email to editor@seattlepress.com. It could be anything—from transportation issues to local politics, senior services, housing needs, business and employment practices or consumer-related issues.

We’ll forward your email to concerned local officials or community organizations, and get their reactions or comments. Then, each week, we’ll select an email or group of related emails to feature online, together with reactions or comments from local officials or community organizations.

It’s our way to bring you closer to those who promised to serve you better.

This is only the start. Soon, we hope to offer you more.

P.S. For now, you won’t be seeing us on the streets, on paper. Instead, we hope you’ll welcome us in your home, through your home computer. We’ll appreciate it if you tell others—your friends, your relatives—that we’re back online.
