Welcome to Varsity Washington — or VarsityWA1 for short — a high school sports newsletter and website devoted to year-round coverage of the teams, athletes and issues pertinent around the state of Washington.

Combined, reporters Todd Milles and Lauren Smith bring nearly 40 years of sportswriting experience — much of it at The News Tribune in Tacoma (while Todd also spent six years at SBLive Washington) — to this new storytelling platform.

What can I expect as a subscriber?

Comprehensive, in-depth and well-researched coverage of high school sports around the state of Washington.

Much of the focus, at least early on, will be on football in the fall; basketball, wrestling and flag football in the winter; and baseball and softball in the spring. We also plan to have a prominent presence at the biggest WIAA championships throughout the year.

We plan to include weekly staples in our coverage that reach every corner of the state, such as single-classification and all-classification rankings, notebook updates, photos, video highlights and analysis from the top games in Washington, and much more.
