Weekly Volcano is a weekly entertainment newspaper in based in Tacoma, Washington, United States. It serves the southern Puget Sound region and reports on film, theater, food, art and music. It ceased publishing after a 2013 merger but re-emerged under new ownership in 2023.[1]

At its peak in its previous incarnation, the Weekly Volcano had 670 distribution points from Federal Way to Tumwater, reaching more than 92,000 readers every Thursday.[citation needed] It began publication on November 1, 2001,[2] and was founded by publisher Ron Swarner.[3] Swarner's brother Ken later took over as publisher.[4] Weekly Volcano also published Northwest Military, which serves military families.[5]

The newspaper organized the annual Tacoma Restaurant Week from 2008 onward.[6]

The Weekly Volcano was merged into the Ranger and Northwest Airlifter as an entertainment supplement in April 2013.[7] Its last article through the merger was published in 2021.

The Weekly Volcano was purchased and re-launched in February 2023 by a long time writer for the publication, Angela Jossy.[1]
