The Everett Herald
The Everett Herald is a daily newspaper based in Everett, Washington, United States. It is owned by Sound Publishing, Inc. The paper serves residents of Snohomish County in the Seattle metropolitan area.
The first newspaper to be called The Everett Herald was established in 1891 and ceased publication during the Panic of 1893. The second incarnation came years later when Sydney "Sam" Albert Perkins, a proprietor of two Tacoma newspapers, purchased the Everett Independent circa January 1901 and renamed to The Everett Herald.
The first issue of the newly christened paper published on February 11, 1901 with Samuel E. Wharton serving as its editor. A 1908 book covering the history of Snohomish County lists both Perkins and Wharton as the newspaper's founders.
On March 14, 1903, The Everett Herald Company purchased a double corner lot on Colby Avenue and Wall Street for construction of a three-story brick building, which would make it the only paper on the Puget Sound to own the building it occupies. Once complete, the site would house The Herald's newspaper plant equipped with new machinery including a linotype machine from a New York factory, a double-feed Dispatch press and a Whitlock cylinder press. The Herald was to be enlarged to an eight-page seven-column paper, the same size as newspapers in Seattle and Tacoma.
Perkins sold the paper to James B. Best, of Everett, and his newly established enterprise, The Daily Herald Company, on September 6, 1905. The price paid for both the building and business was $100,000. At the time the paper's circulation was 4,250.
James B. Best's wife Gertrude Best took over for him when he died in 1922 at the age of 56. By 1926, the paper's circulation was 15,000. Gertrude oversaw The Herald for the next 17 years. She established the paper's photo department and published its first Sunday edition, which was scrapped in 1932 as a result of The Great Depression.
The Bests' son assumed the role of publisher when his mother suffered a stroke in 1939. She later died in 1947. Robert D. Best Sr. became publisher at 29 and served in that role for 37 years until dying from a stroke in 1976. He was succeeded by his son, Robert D. Best Jr.
The newspaper established a satellite news bureau for southern Snohomish County in May 1954, which later became the Western Sun edition in 1970.
