The Leader WHO’S WHO

2009

E AR S Y 0 2 1

Among the cast of characters that have played an important role in the history of Port Townsend is its newspaper, The Port Townsend & Jefferson County Leader. As an independent, locally owned newspaper, it’s one of the few newspapers left in Washington - and anywhere else - that isn’t owned by larger corporate interests. In Port Townsend and throughout Jefferson County, Wednesday is known as “Leader day” - the day the weekly paper hits the stands. Locals grab a copy and sit down with their morning coffee to catch up on news about their neighbors. And in The Leader, it’s all local, all the time. Founded in 1889 as one of several competing newspapers in bustling Port Townsend, The Leader is the only paper produced and published solely for the people of the County. The first issue of The Morning Leader

hit the streets on Oct. 2, 1889, and has been in print ever since. Originally a daily, The Leader became a weekly in 1908. Today The Leader is among the largest community newspapers in Washington, with 27 employees and several correspondents and freelance writers. Its circulation is between 8,500 and 9,300, depending on the time of year, and it reaches into up to 80 percent of Jefferson County households. The Leader’s website, www.ptleader.com, is the busiest website in the county, viewed more than 250,000 times per month. The Leader still lives within Enoch Fowler’s sandstone bricks, some of which are showing signs of age. The paper remains as independent as it was the day it started 120 years ago, writing the first draft of the history of this remarkable town and this remarkable county.
