[...] are speeding up some of the processing time and allowing more time for local correction of spelling people and place names and key search terms in effort to improve overall search results. In the case of the Seattle Star we found that the OCR accuracy levels were very poor without some intervention due to the quality of text in film and originals.
This correction process is done by staff and volunteers with very specific guidelines in order to avoid “scope creep.” With a staff of librarians, library students, and retired teachers the urge to correct details can be [...]

[...] sn84022788 by new owner Samuel L. Maxwell in 1867, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer (P-I) served as the region’s pioneering newspaper and Seattle’s oldest continually operating business. In a land rich with timber, minerals, and waterways, the P-I served a growing community of 150 persons in 1860. Having survived over 11 moves and more than 17 owners, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer as of March 2009 no longer prints news in broadsheet, but remains an active force in the world of digital publishing.
Soon after its creation, the Post-Intelligencer [...]
[...] Washington, was avoided by white settlers for much of the 19th century after being described by a Hudson’s Bay Company governor as exceptionally “sterile.” This changed temporarily in the 1880s and again in the early 1890s with the construction of a railroad bridge over the Columbia River and a few failed irrigation schemes. However, Kennewick’s population growth began in earnest when the Northern Pacific Irrigation Company began advertising farmable land in 1902. The ensuing flood of settlers included Elwyn P. “Pea” Greene, a newspaperman from [...]

[...] significantly by 1900. At this time, Dutch immigrants started arriving in Lynden, attracted by the area's potential for dairy farming.

Final Seattle Republican - final draft Draft The Seattle Republican was Seattle's first truly successful African American newspaper. Out of seven black newspapers to appear in the city between 1891 and 1901, it alone survived into the early 20th century. First issued on May 19, 1894 and continuing until 1913, the paper (initially called simply the Republican ) represented the political views of the Republican Party, but not without critical scrutiny by its publisher and editor Horace Cayton Sr. Begun as a weekly, the Seattle Republican aimed for [...]

Likewise, the Labor Journal enjoyed success and support until 1978 when the paper’s control board ruled that “only businesses with union employees should be solicited for advertising. But revenues from such ads were not enough to sustain the publication and also pay an adequate salary to an editor.” According to Jack Morgan of the Everett Herald [LCCN: sn 86071992], this ruling [...]
[...] simply states that the Miner began in 1899 and thus cannot help clarify the ambiguity of the paper’s start date. Fred L. Wolf was editor of the Miner in1907-12 and often used the paper as a platform for his personal interests. He dedicated significant space in the Miner to the establishment of the Flathead Indian Reservation (approved by Congress in 1904 and opened in 1909), the opening of the Newport Public Library in 1909, and the approval of the development of Pend Oreille County and its subsequent division from Stevens County in 1911.

[...] 2, 1899. Scripps papers generally supported the principle of public ownership. The Star was a strong advocate of a 1902 ballot initiative to allow the city to generate its own power, for instance. 2 When editor Wells proposed starting a newspaper in Tacoma (Washington), Scripps proposed borrowing money for the venture from employees. The notes promised to pay 6 per cent interest for two years. This idea grew into the Newspaper Saving Society and the First Investment Company, forms of employee ownership of the company. 3 E. W. Scripps thought that advertising had a [...]
