A good reminder that if you live in a city that still has an independent news source, throw them a lifeline by subscribing digitally! It's easy and usually doesn't cost more than a couple bucks a week.

I'm in the Seattle area now and the Seattle Times has been a great source of independent local and national news. Most local city news orgs have gone under at this point but I'm glad we still have one here.

I did that until our local Hearst paper started getting gross with weird subscription terms (13 weeks), random price changes and delivery issues.

I subscribe to Apple News and get most of the stories from them now. They basically push 2-3 stories a day.
