ABOUT HUCKLEBERRY PRESS

The Huckleberry Press is a free, regional newspaper dedicated to celebrating and connecting people with their communities, featuring people making a big difference, as individuals, as new or expanding business owners, and as originators or impactful, community events. Readers will also be treated to articles on health & fitness, outdoor activities, restaurant reviews, small business advice, humor, and more!

The Huckleberry Press began in 2001, in the shadow of the Huckleberry Mountains in Stevens County. We now cover 12 counties and over 70 cities and towns in northeastern Washington and north Idaho. We love to tell the positive, good news stories of our region’s people, businesses and community projects. Contact us today to share yours.
