After the Seattle P-I stopped publishing and laid off virtually all of its staff, a few of us former P-I journalists -- reporters, photographers, copy editors -- started this site.
We did this because we believe our city needs more journalists not fewer.
In the beginning we did this as volunteers. We're still mostly doing this as volunteers. Thanks to your donations, we've been able to begin paying a little -- but far less than what it will take to get off unemployment.
We're going to keep doing this as long as we can. But we're going to need your support.
We want this to be a community conversation about our city. We'll have traditional journalists including former P-I reporters. We're a multimedia site with video from KCTS and audio reports courtesy of KPLU.
But we want to hear from you about issues going on in the city, or your stories about living here.
Just as we edit traditional journalists work, your posts and photos will be reviewed first. To submit an article, click Post in the top menu.
