Support local news that is always free to read!

Salish Current produces original, local journalism that is always free — free to read, free of advertising — thanks to the support of generous donors whose gifts go directly to provide fact-based, nonpartisan news for Whatcom, San Juan and Skagit counties. 

Your donation pays for independent reporting that provides information and context on issues and events that are important to our community. In 2023, donor support will enable the Salish Current to hire a full-time staff person, increase our news coverage, develop more community partnerships and increase readership.

Thank you for your ongoing support … and please keep liking, sharing and linking to Salish Current on social media or from your website!
