2024’s Most Read Stories for Washington State and Oregon

2024 has been a doozie, and for some of us, the year seemed to fly right on by!  At Townsquare Media, we don't stop at 10, we like to crank it all the way up to 11. That's why we're giving you a glimpse into the past at the top 11 stories we covered in 2024.

To us, we live to serve our local communities, and for us, that includes Washington State and Oregon. After all, many of us living in Washington travel to Oregon regularly and like to keep up with the big stories impacting our region. Many of our newsletter and app subscribers live in Oregon, too.

There were lots of product and food recalls that captured our attention, as well as travel warnings, and major weather updates for the Pacific Northwest.

Our Washington State readers loved reading our travel-inspired stories about both Oregon and California, as well as food-related articles.

We were on heightened alert about our regional and local economy, and our hearts dropped at the news that some of our favorite retail stores were closing up shop.

Here are the Honorable Mentions, stories that had big views online, but didn't quite make the top 11:
