Good morning, Redwood City!
Photo of the Day
Hey friends. We have some exciting news! The Redwood City Pulse is a finalist for three California Journalism Awards: Best Podcast, Enterprise Reporting, and Food Writing.
These honors are part of a broader success across the Embarcadero Media Foundation, which earned 46 finalist spots this year, up from 36 last year. I’m incredibly proud of our team, and as editor, I can honestly say none of this would be possible without you.
Your support keeps us going. If you believe in local journalism, please become a member or make a one-time donation—it truly makes a difference.
And come say hi! We’ll be at the Kiwanis Farmers Market this Saturday starting at 8 a.m. on the 500 block of Arguello St. in Redwood City. Hope to see you there!
