Fifteen years. That’s how long we’ve been showing up, every single day, to bring you the stories that shape our communities in Northern Virginia.
Potomac Local News has always been about something bigger than just headlines. It’s about connection. It’s about accountability. It’s about giving our neighbors a voice.
Today, Potomac Local News is still here—stronger, sharper, and more committed than ever—because of you.
In an age when trust in the news has eroded and many local papers have vanished, you stood by us. You read. You shared. You became members. You supported a mission bigger than yourself. And because of that, thousands of people across Northern Virginia still have a news source they can count on.
Hey folks – Uriah Kiser here, founder and publisher of Potomac Local News.
Earlier this month, I had the privilege of joining the Prince William Committee of 100 at the Manassas Museum for a thoughtful discussion on the future of local news. Thank you to everyone who came out to support and take part in the conversation—it meant a lot.
In observance of the holiday, many local services and facilities will be closed or operate on modified schedules on Monday, May 26, 2025:
Thank you for being part of our community. From all of us at Potomac Local News, have a meaningful and restful holiday.

Hey Everyone, I’m Uriah Kiser, founder and publisher of Potomac Local News.
Graduation season is here, and we have the full schedule for every local high school. We’re also bringing you highlights from student events across our region and breaking news about a significant elementary school boundary change coming to Stafford County in 2026. Here’s what you need to know.
If you’re looking to sleep in and still get a stellar meal in downtown Fredericksburg, you’re in luck—local restaurants are serving up some serious Sunday brunch vibes. Whether you’re in the mood for a mimosa, a biscuit loaded with bacon, or something a little more adventurous like salmon ramen, there’s something for everyone this weekend.
At Sunken Well Tavern, the brunch menu reads like a dream. Highlights include the Picanha Steak served with cheesy potatoes and eggs your way, a hearty Country Fried Steak smothered in gravy, and even a seafood-packed Monisco Ramen. They also offer vegan-friendly options like the Chili Crisp Avocado Toast and plenty of creative sides.
