MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN SEATTLE

As a Pacific Northwest media market, the local press landscape transitioned to a single-daily print town in 2009 after a long-running two-newspaper rivalry. The independently owned Seattle Times now leads the market with a print circulation exceeding 229,000, while its historic competitor, the Seattle Post Intelligencer, operates entirely as an online-only publication. Specialized weekly outlets cover specific demographics and local commerce, including the Puget Sound Business Journal and Real Change Homeless Newspaper, a street paper sold directly by unhoused vendors. Paperboy lists 19 newspapers in Seattle.
