The San Juan Islander[1] (originally the Islander[2]) was a weekly newspaper published every Thursday[3] that covered the San Juan Islands community in Friday Harbor, Washington.[1] Because the San Juan Island community consisted of mostly farmers and fishermen, the newspaper focused on commodity prices, agricultural production, and movements of nearby shipping vessels.[4] Under the name The Islander, the paper was published by James Cooper Wheeler[5] from 1891 to 1899[5] before being bought by Fred and Otis Culver, who changed its name.[2] The paper was eventually sold to John N. Dickie in 1913 and finally ceased production in 1914.[6] The paper continued to be produced under the name the San Juan Islander from Feb. 24, 1898 to 1914.[7]
