NW Citizen will be down - off line - on and off this Labor Day weekend - through Monday. We are making a major software upgrade that will enable better mobile device displays. It will allow us to improve the site over the next couple months, including better searching and easier posting for our writers. The site will be back online Tuesday morning. We think doing this on the holiday weekend is the least interruption for readers and writers.

And, if you have a moment, following is our solicitation.

We do need and value donations from those who can afford to donate and are willing to support NW Citizen. All donations go to actual website maintenance and improvement costs. We estimate the upgrade this weekend could run $1,000. You can donate online at http://nwcitizen.com/payments - or you can mail a check to:
