My Neighborhood News Network
Internet News
A community-supported nonprofit news organization serving South Snohomish County since 2009
About us
The My Neighborhood News Network is South Snohomish County's longest-running, local online news source, serving the communities of Brier, Edmonds, Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace, Woodway and unincorporated areas. Our mission is to create a financially sustainable nonprofit news organization focused on civic education and engagement for all stakeholders — including those who have been traditionally underrepresented — and finding solutions for issues that matter to our communities. The roots of the My Neighborhood News Network were established in May 2009, when Mountlake Terrace resident Dustin DeKoekkoek founded MLTnews. In October 2009, Edmonds resident Teresa Wippel started My Edmonds News and a year later, in 2010, Lynnwood resident Mike Murphy founded Lynnwood Today. Over the course of the next few years, Wippel acquired the Mountlake Terrace and Lynnwood websites from their respective founders, placing them under the My Neighborhood News Network (MNNN) umbrella. In 2022, Wippel began exploring the idea of converting MNNN to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, to ensure long-term sustainability for South Snohomish County’s longest-running online news source. MNNN received its nonprofit status from the IRS in March 2023 (federal tax ID 88-3919841). Wippel now serves as the president and CEO of the My Neighborhood News Network, which is governed by an all-volunteer board of directors.
