Fauntleroy, once a week.
The West Seattle Dispatch is a free Thursday-morning email for people who live in Fauntleroy. Five minutes. What's changing on your streets, what's being built nearby, and the homes that just sold within a few blocks of you.
Lincoln Park on Puget Sound, the Fauntleroy ferry dock to Vashon and Southworth, Solstice Park and the creek and trails of Fauntleroy Park.
What the city decided
Council votes, construction that changes your commute, openings and closings, school district news. The things you would hear at the bus stop if you had time to stand at the bus stop.
One block for where you live
Alki readers get Alki. Morgan Junction readers get Morgan Junction. A permit, a park project, a road change, and the homes that just sold within a few blocks of you.
Three numbers, one sentence
Median sold price, days to sell, months of inventory. What they mean this month for someone who owns here or wants to. No hype.
Written in West Seattle, by people who live there.
Published by Neighborhood Press LLC. The council agenda, the permit bulletin, the school district blog and the transit notices get read so you don't have to, and every item links its source. One reader, one city, no hype.
Questions people ask
Is this a real estate newsletter?
No. It is a West Seattle newsletter that happens to know the housing market. Three of the four sections are about living here. The fourth tells you what homes are selling for, because in West Seattle that is news too.
Who writes it?
Neighborhood Press LLC, an independent publisher. Every item comes from West Seattle's own public record (council agendas, permit notices, school district and transit updates, parks calendars) and links its source. It is researched and written with AI tools, and an editor reads every issue before it goes out.
How often, and is it really free?
Once a week, Thursday at 6 AM, about five minutes to read. Free, no paywall, unsubscribe in one click at the bottom of any issue.
Who owns it?
Neighborhood Press LLC, an independent publishing company. The newsletter is free, and no sponsor buys coverage. Our standards.
What happens with my address?
It is used for one thing: a monthly estimate of what your home would sell for today. It goes to a local real estate brokerage under the same ownership as our publisher only if you tick the sharing box on the form; that brokerage may then contact you about your home. Leave the box empty and it stays with us. Never sold or posted. Remove it any time by replying to any issue.
