History
For the first time, this four-page newspaper called the Seattle Press-Times was published in 1891; its circulation then amounted to 3,500 copies. In 1896, the newspaper was bought by a male law teacher from Maine, . He renamed it the Seattle Daily Times and doubled its circulation in six months. By 1915, the circulation had increased tenfold and amounted to 70,000 copies.
From 1896 to 2000, The Seattle Times was the so-called “afternoon newspaper,” that is, it was printed in the morning and delivered to readers in the afternoon. Since March 6, 2000, the Times has become "morning" - printed at night, delivered in the morning.

According to March 2013, the circulation of the newspaper is 229,764 copies on weekdays and 336,363 on Sunday.
To this day, the newspaper belongs to one family - the descendants of Bletin, who bought the Times at the end of the 19th century [9] .
