The Yakima Herald-Republic is a newspaper published in Yakima, Washington, and distributed throughout Yakima, Kittitas and Klickitat counties as well as northwest Benton County.
History
[edit]The Herald was founded in 1889. The paper was purchased in 1899 by W.W. Robertson, who also purchased the competing weekly newspaper, the Yakima Daily Republic. In 1968, the Herald & Republic combined to an all-day newspaper called the Yakima Herald-Republic.[2]
Harte-Hanks bought the Herald-Republic in 1972 from the Robertson family. Harte-Hanks sold the paper to an affiliate of MediaNews Group in 1986. It is now part of The Seattle Times Company, which purchased the paper in 1991.[3]
The newspaper was printed in Yakima until 2021, when The Seattle Times Company announced it would sell the Herald-Republic's headquarters and printing plant. The newspaper will instead be printed in Walla Walla by the Walla Walla Union-Bulletin.[4]
