McClatchy purchased The Bellingham
Herald in June 2006 from Knight Ridder, which had purchased the
company from Gannett in 2005.
The Bellingham Herald began
publication on March 10, 1890 as the tri-weekly Fairhaven Herald. The
Herald went through many changes in its early years, including temporary
suspension and a merger with a competing weekly. In 1900, the newspaper
purchased the first linotype on the West Coast. When neighboring
communities of Sehome, Whatcom and Fairhaven consolidated into the city
of Bellingham in 1903, the paper was first printed as The Bellingham
Herald.
