An investigation into a homicide on the city's west side and some notes out of the Monday Prince Rupert City Council session, dominated much of the views for the week.
The release of information from the RCMP related to a stabbing of two seniors, which resulted in the death of one, was by far the most read item of the week.
From City Council, housing and concerns over the homeless provided for many of the themes from the Monday session, while the latest job opportunity with the City and a look at a proposed triplex development in the downtown area also attracted a strong audience.
A community project courtesy of Northern Savings also was of much interest to readers, as the Northern Savings community viewing stations for Terrace, Haida Gwaii and Prince Rupert made for a popular item on the week.
The top story of the last seven days however keeps the focus on crime, with the stabbings of 9th Avenue West making for the most viewed item of the week.
