Pierce Prairie Post relocating in Spanaway area

Pierce Prairie Post said on May 30 that it will move in July, according to a post on the outlet’s website. The announcement did not list a new street address in the initial notice, but it said publisher and managing editor Marianne Lincoln is looking for a more affordable place to live and do business. The move affects a hyperlocal news outlet that covers Spanaway, Parkland, Midland, Frederickson, Graham and other communities in unincorporated Pierce County. The publication’s contact page says the Post is a division of the Spanaway Community Association and operates as a 501(c)(3) public educational organization. ### When is the Pierce Prairie Post moving? The May 30 post said the move will begin in July. The notice framed the change as a relocation tied to housing and operating costs rather than a newsroom shutdown, saying Lincoln works from home and reports in the field at community events. July is the only timing detail the Post published in the notice reviewed Monday. (pierceprairiepost.com) The item did not specify an exact move date, a closing date for the current location, or whether any business functions would be paused during the transition. ### Who is behind the publication? Marianne Lincoln is listed on the Post’s contact page as managing editor.
