Potomac Local News
The Quantico story turned out to be a big one for us. The news that two Jordanian nationals tried to breach security at our region’s largest military installation, home of the FBI Academy and a host of other critical federal installations, came as a shock when not only did it happen — but when base officials voluntarily declined to tell us about it.
We pressed them, and finally, they answered. We’re still on the story, and at a press gaggle, Gov. Glenn Youngkin told us he’s still waiting for answers from the White House about the Quantico incident, which was one of two similar incidents at military bases in Virginia.
Despite the international attention our reporting received, Potomac Local remains very much a locally focused news operation. We will continue to report on what’s happening in our local schools and neighborhoods and bring you news about new, fun things to do in our community, like new restaurants and events.
I have a team of multiple freelancers whom I pay to help bring you the news. From reporters to meeting documenters, the community residents have a passion for keeping you informed about where you live.
I need your help, our members, to keep paying them and keep the news coming. After multiple requests, I’ve created a $9 membership tier to help those who would rather pay monthly access 100% of the local news we post to our site, email newsletters, and social media.
The monthly “Local’s Only” tier has all the same benefits as our annual $103 tier; it’s just a little more expensive over time. Of course, you can cancel at any time.
If you value us, please support us by becoming a member today. Thank you.

This past week, we broke a big story and garnered international attention for our reporting.
Kelly Sienkowski’s story about the security breach at Quantico Marine Corps Base—home to the Marine Corps War College, The Basic School that makes Marine Corps Officers, the FBI Academy, where all employees receive onboarding and training, and many other high-value assets—happened because she was curious about what happened in our community.
She heard rumors, she investigated, she pressed officials for more information about why it was covered up, and she connected the dots between the attack at Quantico, other U.S. military bases, and the White House.
Many national and international news organizations have taken an interest in us and cited our work. The DoD invited us to participate in a working group at Fort Belvoir to discuss our story and what we learned. We politely declined, as we’ve already reported everything we know.
While all of this newly-acquired attention is nice, our sole interest continues to be reporting the local news for you and your family, the people who live in our communities of Fredericksburg, Manassas, and Woodbridge.
We remained focused on bringing you information about the latest restaurants, school news, adoptable pets, the landfill’s summer hours, and countless other local tidbits you won’t find anywhere else. If you value this type of information, please become a member and support our work.
If you’re a business owner or nonprofit trying to build your brand, we’ve never had more readers than we do now. Consider becoming one of a limited number of our regular newsletter sponsors and get in front of nearly 4,000 people each weekday.
Thank you.
