What is the Washington Free Press?

The Washington Free Press exists to carry under-reported regional news and thought-provoking opinion out to those who might not otherwise be able to read it. We do this by free distribution of our paper and our website. In order to get the news out like this, we need your reader support to help us pay for printing, postage, computer, and other basic costs. That's why we ask you to please subscribe and donate. If you have time for doing volunteer distribution in your neighborhood or other volunteer work, that would also be very helpful. You can let us know on the same subscription form. Thanks!

Doug Collins, coordinating editor

About the Cover

Ed "Tuba Man" McMichael was a much loved street musician, for years volunteering his creativity and cheer at sports and other events in Seattle. McMichael died last November from injuries suffered during a random attack at a bus stop. (Three fifteen-year-olds have been sentenced.) Artist/cartoonist Dan McConnell drew this as a tribute to McMichael. T-shirts with the image are available at <www.redbubble.com/people/cartoonydan>, and the proceeds will fund the Charles J. McConnell youth musical scholarship at Quincy High School in Quincy, Washington.
