HS Capitol Hill Seattle is an independent hyperlocal news site dedicated to Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood, founded in January 2006 by Justin Carder. What began as a place-focused community blog has grown into one of Seattle's most respected neighborhood news operations, drawing around 188,000 monthly visitors and earning sourcing credits from the Seattle Times, KCPQ-TV, the Puget Sound Business Journal, and other regional outlets. CHS operates on an open community model: anyone can create an account and post content, with well-crafted submissions promoted from a "Page Two" community feed to the main homepage.
