About Scottsdale: Your Digital Window to the Desert Paradise
Our Story
Scottsdale was born in 2017 with a vision to become the go-to digital hub for all things related to the vibrant city of Scottsdale, Arizona. Founded by a team of passionate local journalists and tech enthusiasts, we set out to bridge the gap between the bustling desert metropolis and its online presence.
Our journey began as a humble online newsletter, sharing local news, events, and hidden gems with a dedicated reader base. Over the years, we've evolved into a comprehensive news website, offering insightful articles, engaging features, and an interactive platform for the community.

Addressing the Information Gap
The internet is filled with countless sources of information, but not all are reliable or focused on the unique needs of Scottsdale. We identified a gap in accurate, up-to-date, and locally-centric content, especially as the city continues to grow and evolve. Scottsdale was created to fill this void, offering a curated digital experience that goes beyond generic travel guides and national news outlets.
