Support local journalism to stay informed

The Quantico story turned out to be an important story for us. The news that two Jordanian nationals attempted to breach security at our region’s largest military installation, home to the FBI Academy and many other critical federal facilities, came as a shock when not only did this happen , but also when those in charge of the base voluntarily refused to say it. us about this.

We pressed them and eventually they responded. We’re still on the case, and in a press conference, Governor Glenn Youngkin told us he’s still waiting for answers from the White House on the Quantico incident, which was one of two incidents Similar incidents occurred at military bases in Virginia.

Despite the international attention our reporting has received, Potomac Local remains primarily a locally focused news operation. We’ll continue to report on what’s happening in our local schools and neighborhoods and tell you about fun new things to do in our community, like new restaurants and events.

I have a team of several freelancers that I pay to help bring you the news. From journalists to meeting documenters, community residents are passionate about keeping you informed about where you live.

I need your help, our members, to continue paying them and keeping the news circulating. After several requests, I created a $9 membership tier to help those who prefer to pay monthly get access to 100% of the local news we publish on our site, email newsletters and social media channels.

The “Local’s Only” monthly tier offers all the same benefits as our $103 annual tier; it’s just a little more expensive over time. Of course, you can cancel at any time.

If you like us, support us by becoming a member today. THANKS.
