Wikipedia:WikiProject Newspapers/States/Washington

This page, and the companion Research page, exist to support composing new articles about newspapers (current and/or historical) in the state of Washington.

This is a work in progress; please feel free to tidy up or organize the lists if you see a need!

This page lists newspapers. Some already have a Wikipedia article, but it needs improvement of some kind; others don't have a Wikipedia article at all, and may or may not qualify for one under Wikipedia's notability standards.

The Research page records notes and bibliographic information about books and articles (some online, some not) that cover Washington newspapers, which may be used as reference materials to support writing or improving these articles.

Lists of papers

The following newspapers lack a Wikipedia article. Not all should have an article; see Wikipedia's general notability guideline and notability guidelines specific to newspapers. For newspapers having sufficient coverage in reliable sources, please start a new article, and be sure to include those sources!

Please note, some of the links below are blue, indicating that an article exists. Often, this means that there is a redirect from the title of the newspaper to an article about the city it's in, or the press group it's part of. It still may be desirable to create an independent article. Those that have this footnote^[1] are almost certainly notable, as they are covered in that book.
