About

The Rainier Valley Post is Southeast Seattle’s only independent daily source for news, information, events, discussion and community building.

If you’ve ever wondered where to find authentic, comprehensive coverage of the Rainier Valley community, from Mt. Baker to Rainier Beach and Seward Park to New Holly, you’ve come to the right place.

Contact us via email at editor@rainiervalleypost.com or phone/text at 206.234.9866 with your hot tips: news, events, photos, whatever. If it’s happening in the Valley, we want to know about it.

Amber Campbell is founder and editor of the Rainier Valley Post. With more than 12 years experience in marketing communications and a passion for the Rainier Valley community, she counts this gig among her most favorite. She rarely travels north of I-90 and is one of the nosiest neighbors you’ll ever meet.

Go here to watch Amber discuss highlights of the Rainier Valley community on Neighborhood Blog TV with host Stan Emert.

Got Something to Say? Say It at Your RVP: The Rainier Valley Post is a volunteer-run, neighborhood-based forum that thrives on contributions from its readers and other members of the south-end community.
