How to Subscribe to Seattle DJC.com or Its Free Newsletter
Updated
Seattle DJC.com offers three paid subscription routes — online access, the print newspaper, and plancenter.com — plus a separate free weekly newsletter. To start, go to the "Subscribe / Renew" page linked from the site's DJC Subscriptions section; to get the newsletter only, use the "Subscribe to our Free Weekly Newsletter" link. The site does not publish prices on the pages reviewed here, so check the subscription page or contact the staff for current rates and terms.
Subscription Options
The site's subscription section describes three ways to subscribe or renew:
| Option | What it covers | Where to start |
|---|---|---|
| DJC online | Digital access to DJC content | "Subscribe / Renew" page under DJC Subscriptions |
| Newspaper | The print DJC newspaper | Same "Subscribe / Renew" page |
| plancenter.com | Plans and specifications for Pacific Northwest projects | Same page, or the Plans area (add your firm as a planholder, upload a plan) |
The subscription agreement page (linked as "Terms of Service") is worth reading before you pay, since it sets out the terms that apply to your subscription.
Free Weekly Newsletter
The newsletter is a separate, no-cost signup. Look for the link labeled "► Subscribe to our Free Weekly Newsletter" in the subscription area of the site; it leads to a signup form. This does not give you access to subscriber content — it is only the weekly email.
If You Have Questions or Need to Renew
The "Contact Us" section lists phone, email, and directions for news items or subscription questions. Use it if you need current pricing, want to switch between online and print, or have a problem with an existing subscription. The site also lists "Subscribe / Renew" as a single entry point, so returning subscribers can renew from the same page.
Common Sticking Points
- Free vs. paid: The free newsletter signup and the paid subscriptions are different links. Signing up for the newsletter will not unlock subscriber-only pages.
- Plancenter is separate: Adding your firm as a planholder or uploading a plan to plancenter.com is a distinct service from a news subscription; use the Plans links rather than the general subscribe page.
- No listed prices: Because rates are not shown on the reviewed pages, confirm cost and terms through the subscription page or the contact details before committing.
