The Daily Herald (Everett, Wa.)

For more than a century, The Daily Herald has been the leading news source in Snohomish County, home to 18 cities and over 800,000 residents. This news organization’s fundamental philosophy, first stated in 1901, is simple: “There is in this community no one so poor or insignificant that The Herald will not defend him if he be wronged, no one so high and powerful that the Herald will not fearlessly attack him if he seek to do injustice.”
