Rural roving reporter covering peninsula communities

The Port Townsend and Jefferson County Leader is the rare, locally owned and operated newspaper that occupies the same building it’s been in for more than a century. That’s more than history — it’s a living promise to the community. The mission of The Leader is to fairly, thoroughly and accurately cover our community within the framework of standards-based professional American journalism. We commit to fearless, in-depth reporting that informs, investigates and strengthens our community.
