As Seattle Bubble marks its ten-year anniversary this month, I’m excited to announce a new program that gives readers the opportunity to directly support my ongoing efforts here: Seattle Bubble Membership.

It’s been almost two years since we’ve done any sort of fundraising on here, and rather than just asking for donations this time around, I decided to put together a membership program with some perks for those who choose to support this site with a modest contribution.

Here’s how it works. Using the form at right (or the same form on the membership page), you can become a Seattle Bubble member for just $5 a month or $50 a year. For your membership, you’ll get a variety of benefits including spreadsheet access, members-only forums, and access to a private group video chat. For a full list of perks, head over to the membership page.

I’ve modeled this program after a similar program at Gimlet Media, a startup podcast network I admire that produces great shows.

Please consider becoming a member to support my ongoing efforts to provide the Seattle area with a quality, unbiased source for in-depth local news about real estate and the economy.

In addition to the membership program, here are a few other ways you can show your support.

• One-Time Contribution – Tips are always welcome. You can use the PayPal or your credit card to make a one-time contribution to Seattle Bubble here.
• Hire Tim to Speak at Your Event – Tim is available for speaking engagements, expert testimony, and other events.
• Advertise your business on Seattle Bubble – If you have a local business, advertising on Seattle Bubble is a great way to reach an engaged and active audience.

As always, thanks for your ongoing support and comments.
