Earlier this week, I professed my love for analytics during a lunch date with friends. I was dining with three highly intelligent individuals, each industry experts in their respected sales roles. Throw in the ThurstonTalk editor and you end up with a riveting conversation about the social media habits of Thurston County residents. And, guess who did all the talking? Yep, our team spends a good portion of our work hours trying to source interesting articles to capture your attention. A broad group of writers create fresh and relevant stories about the community where we live, work, and play.
After two years of constant growth (oftentimes staggering month over month), I have come to the conclusion that we are doing a pretty good job. Our writers are fantastic at finding stories that you want to read – positive stories that highlight the good things happening in our community.
Here is what you, our readers, picked as your favorite articles this week.
