South King Media is a local, independent, family-run media business that serves up award-winning hyperlocal news, events, politics, arts, entertainment, film, videos & more to a large area south of Seattle, WA. It was founded in 2007 by Scott Schaefer, a veteran, multiple award-winning TV Writer/Director/Producer and three-time National Emmy Award winner for “Bill Nye the Science Guy.” Schaefer first started The B-Town Blog as a hobby, and it soon exploded into a business due to the lack of proper coverage by the local newspaper. Scott and his wife Theresa – who have lived in the area since 1995 – manage the company.
