There has been discussion about this on the listserv in the last couple of weeks. : )'<br>
<br>
Basically only one choice these days, cheap or otherwise: Skagit Valley Herald. The cheap one is gone, but the Herald brought its cost down to compete when the La Conner Weekly was still functioning.<br>

<br>
Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br>
