Every metric has exceeded our expectations. We have skipped breaking news articles in favor of sharing the positive stories about people, businesses and organizations doing good things in Grays Harbor. And, when you look back at the most popular stories in 2014, you will clearly see that readers love the diversity that GraysHarborTalk is providing. Read on.
