NOW MORE THAN EVER, IT IS CLEAR HOW MUCH WE RELY UPON THE COMMUNITIES WE LIVE IN.
From the local businesses who are able to stay open offering us groceries and pick up meals, to the front line workers at our local clinics and hospitals.
We think it would be a great idea to thank those in our community and recognize those people for all they do.

The ads will all appear in a special THANK YOU TO OUR COMMUNITY page. Space deadlines are every Wednesday at 10am for the following week’s newspaper. Please email your request to ppcadmanager@nwlink.com or call 206-461-1322, leave us a message and someone will return your call to get the details.
