The B-Town Blog’s Scott & Theresa Schaefer

The White Center Blog is a local, independent, family-run ‘hyperlocal’ news website covering the White Center area since 2008, and provided free to Readers thanks to much-appreciated advertising support from our great local business community.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic changed all of that, and as businesses struggled to stay afloat, they had to cut back their advertising budgets.

You may have seen announcements from other news organizations in our area stating closure of print operations and layoffs of employees. The good news is, we have always been 100% digital, keeping our operating costs low, while continually striving to provide the local news that you will not find elsewhere.

If you value our local coverage, please consider supporting us at a level that makes sense for you. We have partnered with PressPatron to make it easy for you to contribute on a monthly basis, or a simple one time donation (just click the red “Become a supporter” button below). Whatever amount or frequency you choose (even a one-time, one-buck donation helps!), it’s all good, and it will help us keep our pixels updating with the most current and relevant hyperlocal coverage of White Center news, crime, COVID-19, politics, arts, business, events and more.

The White Center Blog is part of South King Media, which is managed by Scott and Theresa Schaefer, who’ve lived in the region since 1995, have raised two children, been involved in the community supporting local numerous non-profits, arts, schools, sports and community events and fundraisers to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars of in-kind sponsorships over our 13+ years in business. Scott was a former TV comedy Writer/Director (listen to a Podcast interview with him here), and also serves on the Board of Directors for the Seattle Southside Chamber of Commerce.

“In an ever shrinking local news landscape, we take seriously our commitment to serve our community,” Scott said to himself while writing this. “And we will keep doing this, no matter what happens!”
