The Eastsider 2025 Year-End Fundraiser: Help Us Keep Telling Your Stories
Fifteen years ago, The Eastsider began as a one-man blog — just me, a notebook, and a phone. I covered community meetings, missing taco trucks, and the occasional coyote sighting.
Today, The Eastsider is powered by a small team of reporters and editors who bring you neighborhood-specific news every day — stories you simply won’t find anywhere else.
Now I’m asking for your support so we can continue providing trustworthy, independent local news in 2026. Your support keeps The Eastsider free for all.
