Good morning, Stockton.

Stocktonia was selected for national support from CatchLight Local Fellowship and Report for America to receive a multi-year staff photojournalist—one of 14 local newsrooms chosen to boost its visual reporting.

Multiple fire agencies worked to put out a four‐alarm blaze on the 400 block of East Main Street in Stockton Saturday—city officials said a vacant building with a fire in its basement forced a slow, careful approach while no one was hurt and the public was told to stay clear of the area.

Stockton officials recently urged residents to apply for open advisory positions on boards, committees, and commissions—hoping new appointees will spur community growth.

City leaders said filling these seats will let more residents help shape local decisions.

An analysis of new data showed that renters in San Joaquin County paid an average rent of $1,654 in May—up from $1,641 in April—with one-bedroom units averaging $1,184 and two-bedroom units at $1,495.
