Tacoma's Eastside has its own blog, running primarily on neighborhood pride. Roxanne Murphy started it as an online newsletter and chose a blog platform simply because it's the easiest (and free) technology to use in this situation. Good choice.

Unfortunately, Murphy is not inviting comments on the site (yet). Since she's doing this on a volunteer basis she doesn't want to bite off more than she can chew. But maybe once the blog gets going, someone else will volunteer to moderate and edit the comments?

Either way, it's a nice addition to the local blogosphere.
