Seattle Times Company



Frank A. Blethen is the CEO of Seattle Times Company.

The Seattle Times Company is a privately owned news and information company controlled by the Blethen family. Its flagship newspaper, The Seattle Times, is the largest daily newspaper in Washington state.

The Seattle Times began as the Seattle Press-Times, a four-page newspaper founded in 1891 with a daily circulation of 3,500, which Maine teacher and attorney Alden J. Blethen bought in 1896. Renamed the Seattle Daily Times, it doubled its circulation within half a year, and by 1915 circulation reached 70,000. As of March 2005, weekday circulation stood at 233,268.

The company publishes papers in Walla Walla, Yakima and Issaquah, Washington, and also owns five papers in Maine. Under a joint operating agreement the company also manages advertising, production, circulation and marketing for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, a separately owned newspaper with a separate and competitive news department.

The Seattle Times Company is family owned and operated and has been that way since it was founded in 1896 by Alden J. Blethen. Company revenue in 2003 was $346.0 million.
