Good morning, Redwood City!
Photo of the Day
In the coming weeks, and as we near Nov. 5, you will see more election coverage. The Pulse is following numerous races, including the city council race, the Board of Supervisors and the Redwood City School District Board, and we are picking up coverage from our sister site, The Almanac. If you have questions for candidates in those races, please email us at editor@rwcpulse.com.
Don’t forget that tonight is your last chance to catch Music on the Square and ART on the Square. Check out original creations from local artists while you listen to Pride & Joy SF, a pop/soul party band.
Our inbox is always open. If you want to contribute a photo to our newsletter or if you have a story idea, email us at editor@rwcpulse.com.
