Welcome to Quincy Washington
If you’re reading this, you’re probably here because you care about what’s happening in Quincy and the greater 98848. Welcome to Quincy WA is first and foremost a local news and community information site, built to help residents stay informed, connected, and aware of the stories shaping our area. And if you’re new to Quincy or thinking about moving here, we’ve got resources for you too, consider that a bonus.
I’ve lived in Quincy, Washington for almost 20 years. My wife and I are raising our family here, have served in local programs, stayed active in our church, supported youth sports, arts, and homeschool groups, and watched this community change, grow, and mature. Quincy isn’t just a place I report on; it’s home.
As a professional journalist, podcaster and storyteller, I created Welcome to Quincy Washington to give our community something that’s been missing: a clear, consistent, locally rooted place to find information, context, and stories about life here
