Please Welcome Chief Smith, Our Newest Blogger

This week Enumclaw Patch welcomed Chief Smith as its newest blogger.

One day following last week's terrorist attack at the Bostom Marathon, Chief Smith submitted his first blog post, Boston Bombing, where he reminded the public to be vigilant and report suspicious behaviour.

"Situational awareness, while no panacea, can make the difference between becoming a victim or being a survivor," he wrote. "Every citizen has the responsibility for being aware of what is taking place around them; this is how we can protect our communities, our neighbors, loved ones and ourselves."

Want to blog on Patch, too?

Enumclaw Patch is looking for bloggers who’d like to share their local knowledge, personal expertise, political opinions, or hobbies. We want bloggers who can have readers walk away feeling challenged, inspired, happy, sad or further educated on a particular subject. Photo and video blogs are also encouraged!

Keep in mind that this is not a reporting gig. There’s no need to be a published author or someone who needs to be told what to write about. We want you to write about what you want and when you want.

Blogging on Patch is just one more way you can get involved with your community and spark important discussion.

So, start a blog on Enumclaw Patch today! Have questions about blogging? Email Community Editor Jenny Manning at jenny.manning@patch.com.
