SouthSoundTalk launched one year ago in January 2014 as an alternative to traditional media and news sources in Pierce County. Leaving the breaking news for the other guys, SouthSoundTalk has focused on publishing positive stories about the people, businesses and organizations that make Pierce County such a vibrant place to live, work and play. That’s been our mission since day one. As we reflect on the past year with our 10 most read stories of 2014, it’s clear that we accomplished what we set out to do. Looking ahead to 2015, we’re excited to continue sharing positive stories with the community that highlight why Pierce County is such a great place to call home.
