Reach West Seattle, every Thursday at 6 AM.
The West Seattle Dispatch is the free weekly email people in West Seattle open for what the city decided, what's opening and what changed on their streets. Local businesses sponsor it to be in that issue, in front of neighbors who read it.

Twelve months, one business per category, at most ten per Dispatch (10 open). Your listing in the Local Guide, two Community Lines a month, a Local Spotlight each quarter, a table at the quarterly reader night, first call on Presenting dates, and your results every month.

How it works
- Request a Thursday. Pick a placement and a date, or let us suggest the next open one.
- We write the copy with you. You send your logo, your link and the one thing readers should know; the draft comes back the same day for your OK.
- Pay online. Your invoice arrives by email within minutes of the request, with a link to pay by card or bank transfer. It is paid before the issue runs.
- See what it did. Within 48 hours of each issue: how many readers opened it and how many clicked your link.
Our standards
- Every paid placement is labeled "Sponsored".
- Local businesses only. No real estate brokerages or agents, no political ads.
- Ads never buy editorial coverage.
- Readers' email addresses are never sold and never given to advertisers.
