Effective with the March 31 edition, The Islands’ Weekly will no longer be mailed to households on Orcas and San Juan islands.

It will continue to be mailed free of charge to Lopez Island households. The rising cost of paper and postage make it economically impractical to continue a countywide mailing. Limited copies of The Weekly will be available in the offices of The Islands’ Sounder on Orcas and The Journal of the San Juan Islands in Friday Harbor. The Islands’ Weekly will still be available on the internet: www.islandsweekly.net
