About Us: Scottsdale News
Our Story
Scottsdale News was founded in 2017 with a vision to become the go-to source for accurate and unbiased information about Scottsdale, Arizona. Born out of a passion to fill an information gap on the internet, our journey began as a small team dedicated to providing a platform that would keep residents and visitors alike informed and engaged.
Over the years, we've grown from a modest start into a thriving online community, marking significant milestones along the way. From covering local events and business updates to in-depth profiles of Scottsdale's diverse culture, our content has evolved to cater to a wide range of readers.
