The Seattle Times is an American daily newspaper based in Seattle, Washington. Founded in 1891, The Seattle Times has the largest circulation of any newspaper in the state of Washington and the Pacific Northwest region. The Seattle Times Company, which owns and publishes the paper, is mostly owned by the Blethen family, which holds 50.5% of the company; the other 49.5% is owned by The McClatchy Company. The Blethen family has owned and operated the newspaper since 1896.
The Seattle Times had a longstanding rivalry with the Seattle Post-Intelligencer until the latter ceased physical publication in 2009.
The Seattle Times has received 11 Pulitzer Prizes and is widely renowned for its investigative journalism.[2]
