LOCAL PUBLIC SERVICE JOURNALISM DELIVERS WHEN IT’S NEEDED MOST Now more than ever, local trusted news and information is vital to navigating our complex world and the global pandemic that’s changed daily life for all of us. We are grateful to the many supporters who have contributed to The Seattle Times’ community-funded journalism initiatives that serve the public interest, producing local, independent coverage for our region. This support has also helped our newsroom excel through this uncertain time, delivering in-depth, all-hands-on-deck coverage throughout the coronavirus crisis.

Thank you to our community and our funding partners for being champions of a robust, local free press.
