Like you, we want
Port Townsend Free Press
to continue!

The Port Townsend Free Press has been a precious window into the unreported corners of our fair (and sometimes not so fair) City of Dreams, as well as an outlet for voices not well served by local media and powers-that-be. As the only uncensored media source in our county, we aim to continue founder and departing editor Jim Scarantino’s legacy.

The three of us bring different backgrounds and experiences to this endeavor. What we share is a commitment to free speech and speaking truth to power. We are nonpartisan, fact-driven, and are not beholden to any advertisers or other commercial interests.

If you are not on our mailing list, please take a moment to sign up — just click here to JOIN OUR MAILING LIST TODAY! You’ll receive email notification whenever a new article is posted. In the spirit of a free press, we welcome your comments, and pledge to provide a civil community forum for conversations that are being censored by other media.

We will do our utmost to rise to the high standards Jim has set!
