Scottsdale was born in 2017 with a vision to become the go-to news platform for Scottsdale, Arizona, and its vibrant community. Founded by a group of passionate local journalists and tech enthusiasts, we aimed to fill an information gap that had long existed in the digital landscape of this bustling metropolis.
