To the Editor: Congratulations on the launch of this website

Congratulations on the launch of this website. I worked in the news business more than 30 years and am convinced that neighborhood and city websites are more important than ever.
Newspapers and broadcasters long ago began phasing out news about communities and are struggling to even stay alive. The only way, then, for us to communicate what's happening 'close to the ground' is to do it ourselves.
You are extremely fortunate to have Evan Smith and Diane Hettrick involved as they are good and credible reporters and writers.
You - the community - now have the means to get the news out, link to others in your city, and (I would hope) eventually advertise your business to thousands of readers.
I live in Edmonds but am interested in what's happening in our neighboring towns, so I will be reading with interest. I will also be jealous that we have nothing like it in Edmonds.
Onward!
