The Seattle Times is a prominent newspaper based in the Pacific Northwest, founded in 1891. Originally known as the Seattle Press-Times, it evolved through several name changes before becoming The Seattle Times in 1966. It is one of the few major city dailies in the U.S. that remains independently operated and owned by a local family, the Blethens. The Seattle Times offers a daily newspaper that covers local, national, and international news, along with a robust digital platform that is among the most visited news sites in the region. The newspaper has a rich history of documenting significant events in Seattle, including the Klondike Gold Rush. It has received numerous accolades, including 11 Pulitzer Prizes, highlighting its commitment to quality journalism. The Seattle Times serves a diverse audience, including residents and businesses in Seattle and surrounding areas, providing essential news and information to the community.
