FullTiltParticipantI know the hoods are really close, but at times they can be worlds apart. Many people I have talked to have suggested a White Center blog. SO who wants to help me start one? I figure if there are about five people working on it, we can have a dynamic blog, with out one person being to overly worked.

JoanMemberSince I live much closer and spend more time in Not White Not Center, I would LOVE to read a WC blog every day with my WSB!
(That reminds me! I need to put up a report of my visit to the new Viet Namese Cultural Center grand opening party. It’s the one on Sylvan Way across the street from Home Depot, announced right here in WSB. Party? Oh no, it was a full blown BASH!)

BayouMemberFullTilt, I’d love to see that happen as well! I live in WC and I’m a photographer so I’m sure I could contribute to your efforts.

WSBKeymasterJoan – let us know when you do that. We had trouble with our video shot that day and though Mr. Bui’s daughter kindly sent us a couple great photos we never got a chance to post something and suddenly time got away from us, but if you put up your report we can find an excuse to re-mention it – TR

ZenguyParticipantWish I’d known about the Vietnamese bash, I love those kinds of things. :(

RickBMemberI’m livin’ the dream here in White Center–I think a WC blog would be cool. I’d be willing to help out, both with tech stuff (I’m a web programmer by day) and contributions.

ellenaterMemberI love White Center and live close by. I’ll contribute photos as well. Good luck with that!

datamuseParticipantTechnically I live in Highland Park, but that’s right next to White Center and I’m closer to the WC than to a lot of West Seattle’s more interesting attractions. I’d LOVE a White Center-oriented blog.

RickBMemberOkay, in light of the front page post here on WSB about White Center, is anyone ready to take another step toward a WC blog? How about a meetup or exchange of emails?

WSBKeymasterThere has been nothing at that site for months (I last looked over the weekend). You must have put something up today.
Since that url was unavailable, Justin from Full Tilt, Ricardo from Cafe Rozella, and the WSB team softlaunched the blog about White Center last week at:
As Justin had stated on this thread, contributors more than welcome. This is not “WSB south” — this is a whole different site, primarily authored by people who live and/or work in White Center and are deeply involved with the community. We are assisting with original news coverage and administration.

charlabobParticipantIs there a lot of money in this community blog stuff ? :-) I have to say, whitecenternow is, now and happening — the other one? Not so much.
The charla and bob don’t live there yet (anyone want to buy a slightly under water house in north admiral for its, um, potential?) But we seem to spend more and more time there, and look forward to reading even more about what’s happenin’.

scottsoMemberAs with any blog, there are hours, days, sometimes weeks in slow development, then suddenly it’s time to launch.
And like most blogs, http://www.whitecenterblog.com is a work in progress.
But don’t worry – we have no plans on fully annexing W.C.
Yet.

rockhillsMemberJust checked out White Center Now and really liked it. As someone who lives in West Seattle and works in White Center I am thrilled to see the community, local events and businesses highlighted in such a positive way. Thanks for going deeper than the demographics, which is where most of the mainstream media coverage I have seen stops.

WSBKeymasterThank you! We have found ourselves covering more and more about White Center on WSB in recent months anyway, and there is a lot of synergy, not to mention issues that affect both areas (such as the jail-sites fight, which we already have covered extensively here, and will continue to do so, crossposting major developments to WCN when appropriate).
But what will be really exciting will be continuing to discover the uniqueness. We were just out for a sunset drive and took a side trip down 14th and 15th … so many businesses you will never find in an online yellow pages type site, so many small communities within the greater community, so many stories to be revealed.
