The Eastside Sun

The Eastside Sun, one of two newspapers serving Kirkland, Washington, United States, is the largest monthly newspaper in the City of Kirkland, Washington. Since 2006, the Sun has evolved from a strictly nightlife and entertainment oriented newspaper to a well-rounded publication dealing with arts, government, entertainment, police abuses, transportation and growth management. - he Eastside Sun originated as the brainchild of a group of downtown Kirkland businesspeople as a 32-page newspaper in July of 2006 with a circulation of 10,000. Initially written off as an advertising vehicle, The Eastside Sun soon gained recognition as a potent force at revealing corruption and misuse and abuse of domestic violence laws by both city employees and private citizens. Growth to 64 pages and full color, the Sun has managed to create a dialog as well as a divide in the community. Most merchants seem to support it - an observation based on it's large advertising base - but there are continued letters to the editor in opposition to many of The Newspaper's stances, referenced by a blog on the topic. .

Distribution

While The Sun is mainly distributed in the Kirkland / Redmond / Bellevue areas, it is making inroads into the Kent / Renton areas as well as the Northlake area comprising Kenmore, Bothell and Woodinville. One chain of local newspapers already in existence in these new areas have protested the incursion of The Sun.
