Attitude with substance. That's the Weekly Volcano — Tacoma and Olympia's only edgy, irreverent and thought-provoking alternative newsweekly. We're dedicated to the truth, and providing a street-level perspective you won't find anywhere else. We take active, edgy journalism seriously without getting stuffy about it, and absolutely cherish political independence.
In addition to feature stories on everything from personal profiles, culture and social issues to local underground musicians and artists, every issue includes details on pretty much everything happening in the South Sound, from movies to literary events and concerts.
We offer up a hip take on culture, food and music flavored by a lifelong love of the South Sound we cover. With a combination of spunky columnists, vivid profiles, the best music and food sections in the South Sound and sassy commentary on the culture scene that keeps the South Sound percolating, the Weekly Volcano lives as a kind of collective urban diary.
And the Weekly Volcano is easy to find, with more than 700 distribution points in the South Sound, reaching more than 90,000 readers every Thursday.
