Northwest Neighbors

Most news media tend to connect readers or viewers only to large, remote corporations. News spreading person-to-person "by the grapevine" has almost disappeared in our isolated modern lives. That's a problem. At the WA Free Press, we've wracked our brains over the past few years trying to think of a way that a news medium can help restore a personal, neighborly aspect to society. We recently had a brainstorm: this "Northwest Neighbors" list below. Listings are free to subscribers.

If you'd like to learn or talk about the topics, then contact the people

Why President Bush is not a Christian:

contact Styx Mundstock at 360-758-2976

The WA Free Press reserves the right to reject any listing. We will definitely reject any listing that appears to sell a product or service, or which solicits funds as a major part of its message, or is not from a subscriber. If you perceive any misuse of this list, please contact us. The WA Free Press cannot assume responsibility for any misuse of contacts listed here, but we will certainly strive to make this list operate in a neighborly way.
